Forbes’ review

August 10th, 2007 by

Andy Greenberg at Forbes takes the book seriously, seems to think it’s on a topic worth writing about, and thinks it has interesting things to say, although he thinks I say most of them in the first few chapters (I disagree – I think the book develops a thesis, but, well, I would think that, wouldn’t I). Even so, my “story-laden writing keeps readers from straying.” Here’s his final paragraph: “As the author of a book about the virtues of chaos, Weinberger may be putting the last brick in the tomb of that “ancient and beautiful Greek idea.” But Everything Is Miscellaneous isn’t just about the promises of a messy Internet. It’s also a thoughtful obituary of history’s librarians, an elegy for the last order of order.”

This, and every other review I’ve found, is listed on the reviews page…

    Thought you might find this article on supermarket shelves in India of interest… There’s hope for chaos in the first world (perhaps not the Western world) after all :-)

    Asking questions are genuinely nice thing if you are not understanding anything entirely, except this piece of writing
    provides nice understanding even.
