ARCHITECTS of TOMORROW: December 2011

Meet the People Who Make Your World

After ten years of conducting interviews with many of the greatest innovators in modern technology, I'm proud to offer these discussions as no one has ever seen them before. When these talks first appeared in CPU magazine, they had to be sliced down for space. But now, thanks to ebooks, I've been able to go back to the source material and replace the gems and fascinating tangents that were formerly lost. Moreover, most interviewees have generously contributed follow-up discussions.

These people aren't locked in the past. They're still here, still changing the world, and (usually) still giving us glimpses showing that the best is yet to come. I'll share some great passages from the "Architects of Tomorrow" series below. If you like what you see, grab the complete books here:

Good reading, and prepare to be inspired!

Architects 2 -- Uploading to Amazon Now!

At last! It's been a bit of a slog getting final editorial sign-off, but at last, "Architects of Tomorrow, Volume 2" is now converting into Amazon's Kindle system. I'll be double-checking the formatting this morning and return soon with the published link.
