Richard Feynman said fifteen years ago that the space agency's decision making had become "a kind of Russian roulette." [The shuttle] flies and nothing happens. Then it is suggested, therefore, that the risk is no longer so high for the next flights. We can lower our standards a little bit because we got away with it last time. . . . You got away with it, but it shouldn't be done over and over again like that. ( Genius , p. 427) This site is home for a few articles that may be of interest to the online community. For example, here's my latest screed about spam, written for the New York Times Magazine. Strangely, now that I'm done, I seem to be getting more than ever. My current book is a slightly less ephemeral version of my writing on these matters: What Just Happened. My next book is a biography of Isaac Newton. It will be published by Pantheon Books in May.

James Gleick Catches Up With Time Dave Weich , Powells.com Faster: The Acceleration of Just About Everything opens at the Directorate of Time, a compound so oddly reminiscent of old science fiction novels you could be forgiven for thinking the author is only trying to illustrate a point: that our society has become obsessed with time. In fact, the Directorate is real - on a hillside in Washington D.C., dozens of atomic clocks networked with others around the globe keep our planet's "official" time. "A compression of time characterizes the life of the century now closing," James Gleick writes in Faster . Consider, for example, overnight mail, itself a fairly recent phenomenon. "In the world before FedEx, when 'it' could not absolutely, positively be there overnight, it rarely had to," Gleick explains. "Now that it can, it must." And now, only a few years later, faxes, email, and the Internet have rendered even FedEx too slow for many jobs. Do people really want to live at this pace? Clearly, some do. But what are the costs? "It might be simplest to recognize that there is time - however much time - and we make choices about how to spend it, how to spare it, how to use it, and how to fill it," Gleick writes. Those choices, of course, will go a long way toward determining the pace if not the quality of our lives.

We're speeding up; our technology is speeding up; our arts and entertainment and the pace of invention and change it's all speeding up. And we care.

(This isn't the Cliffs Notes version.) The chapter-by-chapter links, meanwhile, point outward to resources meant to extend and illuminate various themes of the book. Some lead to actual source material for Faster ; others to recent news or oddities or phenomena that strike me as pertinent or amusing. The book, after all, is now frozen in time.

"An awe-inspiring book. Reading it gave me that sensation that someone had just found the light switch." —Douglas Adams "This is a stunning work, a deeply exciting subject in the hands of a first-rate science writer. The implications of the research James Gleick sets forth are breathtaking."-Barry Lopez The book and the audiotape at a discount from Amazon. Nature's Chaos Chaos: The Software More chaos links: Good starting point: sci.nonlinear.faq Applied chaos at Georgia Tech Fractal Domains Gallery ... CompLexicon "Gleick's Chaos is not only enthralling and precise, but full of beautifully strange and strangely beautiful ideas."-Douglas Hofstadter "I was caught up and swept along by the flow of this astonishing chronicle of scientific thought. It has been a long, long time since I finished a book and immediately started reading it all over again for sheer pleasure.-Lewis Thomas From the Prologue: T he police in the small town of Los Alamos, New Mexico, worried briefly in 1974 about a man seen prowling in the dark, night after night, the red glow of his cigarette floating along the back streets. He would pace for hours, heading nowhere in the starlight that hammers down through the thin air of the mesas. The police were not the only ones to wonder. At the national laboratory some physicists had learned that their newest colleague was experimenting with twenty-six-hour days, which meant that his waking schedule would slowly roll in and out of phase with theirs. This bordered on strange, even for the Theoretical Division.

SCIENCE WRITING Compiling On The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2000. David Quammen, editor; Burkhard Bilger, series editor. xxii + 265 pp. Houghton Mifflin, 2000. $27.50, cloth; $13, paper. The Best American Science Writing 2000. James Gleick, editor; Jesse Cohen, series editor. xii + 258 pp. Ecco/HarperCollins, 2000. $27.50. In these dueling anthologies, editors David “ Song of the Dodo ” Quammen and James “ Chaos ” Gleick have assembled an admittedly arbitrary best of show from a typical year for science and nature writing. Gleick, who describes his selection rationale as the “big tent” approach, includes a dizzying array of subjects and styles—as does Quammen. In the Gleick collection we find, for example, Denis G. Pelli’s fascinating original research on Chuck Close’s paintings and perception, from Science ; Natalie Angier’s New York Times report on prehistoric fashion trends; and Floyd Skloot’s excruciating first-person story of the horrors of a brain-virus attack, from

19. Breaking Tradition With Darwin Biographical essay by science writer james gleick. http://www.nytimes.com/books/97/11/09/home/gould-magazine.html

November 20, 1983 Breaking Tradition With Darwin By JAMES GLEICK VOLUTION has prepared the Bahamas land snail for a simple life. It hangs upside down from the leaves and grasses, climbs down in the damp nights to nibble at fungi and crawls across the terrain at the sober rate of perhaps a meter per year. Over the ages, merely by struggling to survive and reproduce, it has managed to adapt itself exquisitely to its various Caribbean habitats. On the coasts, where wind and crabs might kill the less fit, natural selection has left snails with thickened shells for protection. In the sun-dappled interiors, shells have grown mottled for camouflage. But no means of adaptation known to Darwin could have prepared these snails for a predator as ruthless as a certain Harvard professor of geology. When January comes, the scattered islands of the Caribbean find him scrabbling at the ground with his fingernails, a plastic bag dangling from his mouth, barely aware of the clouds of sand flies or the 90-degree heat. He carries away specimens by the hundreds and maps their geographic distribution. It is his way of staying in touch with the stuff of evolution. To a scientist like Stephen Jay Gould - an evolutionary theorist with a special love for patterns of growth and form - these snails make perfect subjects. For one thing, their life histories are calcified for all to see in the delicate whorls of their shells. For another, they turn up in a wild variety of shapes - so wild that species-happy collectors a century ago gave names to what they thought were more than 600 different kinds (Gould thinks there are fewer than 20).

Patently Absurd Once the province of a nuts-and-bolts world, patents are now being applied to thoughts and ideas in cyberspace. It's a ridiculous phenomenon, and it could kill e-commerce. By JAMES GLEICK Illustration by Dugald Stermer hen 21st-century historians look back at the breakdown of the United States patent system, they will see a turning point in the case of Jeff Bezos and Amazon.com and their special invention: Not everyone who knows Bezos as the newly minted billionaire founder of the world's leading Internet retailer knows that he's also an inventor, but he is. It says so on U.S. Patent No. 5,960,411, "Method and system for placing a purchase order via a communications network." Every good invention needs a story, and Jeff Bezos has one for one-click ordering. He's laying it out in federal court, where, at the height of the holiday shopping season, he won an injunction forcing his chief competitor, Barnesandnoble.com, to add deliberate complication to its ordering process. In ways that could not have been predicted even a few years ago, the patent system is in crisis. A series of unplanned mutations have transformed patents into a positive threat to the digital economy. The patent office has grown entangled in philosophical confusion of its own making; it has become a ferocious generator of litigation; and many technologists believe that it has begun to choke the very innovation it was meant to nourish.
