Kelly, Johnson and Krulwich look at where technology is taking us. Kevin Kelly, one of the co-founders of Wired Magazine and author of What Technology Wants, makes the argument that technology as a whole is not a jumble of wires and metal but a living, evolving organism that has its own unconscious needs and tendencies. Steven Johnson's new book, Where Good Ideas Come From, explains why certain spaces, from 18th-century coffeehouses to the World Wide Web, have an uncanny talent for encouraging innovative thinking. Robert Krulwich, a correspondent for NPR's Science Desk, specializes in explaining complex news — economics, technology, science — in a style that is clear, compelling and entertaining.
