The Sorcerers and Their Apprentices. How the digital magicians of MIT Media Lab are creating the innovative technologies that will transform our lives. Frank Moss. 2011. ISBN 9780307589101. If you ever needed a reason to go to Boston, this book will give you one. The author was the Director of the MIT Media Lab and compiled this book while there. It is a walk through the halls to see and hear about the upcoming technologies that Negroponte‘s vision has brought forth. I also enjoyed the stories about the many brilliant researchers and the sponsors who stand behind them. I had not realized that some of the researchers are successful company founders who after cashing out, are now doing what they love – creating new things. The facility seems to be a hot bed of serendipity, bringing so many interests to bear on each project. You never know where the technology will be applied. Good read and it gives you a boost.
