Available in: Print, eBook
To those familiar with Barry’s writing, it might come as
a surprise that his most recent book is a celebration rather than a caricature of
his home state of Florida and its classic (read: kitschy) roadside attractions. Throughout his breezy travelogue he lovingly recounts
the many anecdotes that have made the state the source of many jokes and
reminds us why Barry is such a renowned humorist.

Friedman’s newest book is written as a field guide on how
to think about accelerations in technology, globalization, and climate change and
adapt to the accompanying transformations in our work, politics, and
communities. With his trademark wit and
optimism, Friedman makes a case for slowing down, pausing to appreciate these significant
changes and taking the time to reimagine our future and its possibilities.

Thomas Dolby’s memoir is an fascinating narrative of his
pioneering work merging digital music with film, technology, and science and
draws on his years as a “synthesized music guru” and internet geek. The former TED Conference music director

Jackson, Steve Jobs, and George Lucas and reveals his struggles with record
companies. Dolby’s extraordinary story is bound to appeal readers interested in
the digital world’s monumental influence on music and culture.
