''The digerati evangelize, connect people, adapt quickly. They like to talk with their peers because it forces them to go to the top of their form and explain their most interesting new ideas.''

Thanks to the publishers, Simon and Schuster Ltd for forwarding the book.

If this book appeals then you will almost certainly want to read [[Thinking About Almost Everything by Ash Amin and Michael O'Neill]].

I don't think there is any inevitable conflict as such between religion (spiritual belief) and science; I think they belong to separate realms, same as with morality and science. Of course, organised religion/religious institutions is a different matter.

[[''Pontius Pilate (Studies in Religion and Culture)~~|This]]~~ '' is a book that I have read ages and ages ago and which addresses this one (and other issues to do with ethics and determinism). Don't let the fact that it uses the Christian parable put you off, it's a remarkable little book. In fact, I might review it now it has appeared in English again.

I just had a look at the Edge site and it's wonderful. Thank you. Why haven't I found it before!
