I'll check it out - might be interesting to read both as a comparison / contrast. The need for a geek book club grows ever stronger :) All suggestions gladly received – thanks Jack!

Nassim Nicholas Taleb looks at large-scale unpredictable events which are responsible for the majority of things and makes the point that the impact of unpredictable outliers is so great that (in the areas where they can occur) any form of prediction is bunk. I don't agree with <em>everything</em> he says, but I think I can accept the broad thrust of his argument... Might I suggest The Black Swan as an alternative (or follow up) to Gladwell’s outliers.

I think I am going to head for Zittrain as soon as I've finished Born Digital as I am more than intrigued from your recommendation of it. Will let you know what I think once I've read it! May also be time to re-read Cluetrain :) Thanks Paul. I think I am going to head for Zittrain as soon as I’ve finished Born Digital as I am more than intrigued from your recommendation of it.

I fortunately retain a spark which suggests the internet's historic robustness against all comers, however having leaned from Nielsen about the power of the mass to shift the norm I remain fearful about the mass experience.
