The Sorcerers and Their Apprentices: How the Digital Magicians of the MIT Media Lab Are Creating the Innovative Technologies That Will Transform Our Lives

Light reading and full of ideas but nothing that grabbed me. An interesting part was the social networking and web-site as part of the solutions to solve certain puzzles. Example: a disease/health condition not significant enough for serious research by big pharma; create a web site for people to log their experiences in dealing with these disease/condition, such as what foods worked/didn't work. It reminds me of the concept of "evidence-based medicine" which the health-care industry hates. So it was a nice story in the pantheon of the MIT Media Lab.
