From Steven Berlin Johnson…
“I have some direct evidence (the details of which I can’t reveal for national security reasons) that Dick Cheney read The Ghost Map over Christmas, and apparently enjoyed it. (I’m kidding about the national security, but not about the fact that he read it.) Obviously, I’m not the biggest fan of Cheney, but still, there’s something very cool about the idea. It’s one of the things that’s so rewarding about writing books; I effectively got five or six uninterrupted hours to talk directly to the Vice President about my theories about cities, disease, progress — even the anti-science bent of the current administration. I didn’t get actual face time, but my ideas did.”
That’s very cool, and another good reason to write.
More and more I’m enjoying the challenge of trying to put my thoughts into words here.
I appreciate the time you all take to read them. Thank you!
