5.0 out of 5 stars an astonishing account of life in the fast lane, 14 April 2005

By	be4con (Derby, UK) - See all my reviews

Through his excellent journalist style James Gleick manages to create an absolute page turner. I love this book. From the detailed descriptions of how the directory enquiries service works to the logistics of the elevator industry the topics covered appear on face value to be boring, even odious. Do not be fooled, this is one of those books that will change the way you look at the world. I cannot recommend it enough....

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and thought-provoking - excellent gift, 23 Oct 2001

By A Customer

A brilliant book, with plenty of original ideas. My copy has been passed around the whole family. Some of the ideas might change the way you look at things for life - I know that I will never feel the same about the seemingly interminable time a lift takes to reach the desired floor!

I recommended this audiobook CD to a friend who did not know what to buy her husband for Christmas and it was a very successful gift.
