"Steven Berlin Johnson (born June 6, 1968) is an American popular science author. He has worked as a columnist for magazines such as Discover Magazine, Slate, and Wired. He co-founded the early webzine Feed Magazine in 1995, and the Webby award winning, news discussion site Plastic.com in 2001. He is a Distinguished Writer in Residence at New York University.
In 2006, he announced a new online service, Outside.in, which he described as "an attempt to collectively build the geographic Web, neighborhood by neighborhood".[1]
Johnson has published the following books:
Interface Culture: How New Technology Transforms the Way We Create and Communicate (1997)
Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software (2001)
Mind Wide Open: Your Brain and the Neuroscience of Everyday Life (2004)
Everything Bad Is Good for You: How Today's Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter (2005)
The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic—and How it Changed Science, Cities and the Modern World (2006)
The Invention of Air: A Story of Science, Faith, Revolution, and the Birth of America (2008)
I've read every one of his books and 5 out of 7 of them are great!
I love how he tackles a subject from every possible angle....every level.... micro to macro.
Molecular to socio-political. All discussing the same series of events in space-time.
At least his last two have attempted this.
Anyone else familiar with his work?
