Odd Lots: Essays, Ideas, Parody and Memoir from a Contrarian Optimist
Jeff Duntemann
Jeff Duntemann began writing about technology in the mid-1970s, at the dawn of the microcomputer era. In his role as a technical magazine editor and early blogger, he wrote literally thousands of essays, editorials, blog posts, and humor pieces, many of which exist only in paper magazines from decades ago. In response to requests from his fans, he's collected the best of his non-technical writing, and thrown in a little memoir to cast some light on the odd man behind these truly odd lots. Some highlights: His favorite writing tipsHis prediction of Wikipedia in 1994His prediction of selfies in 1983How nanotechnology might eventually create computers as small as dirt particlesHow dogs helped early humans survive their genocidal impulses, making civilization possibleWhat tweener boys learn from monster moviesThe challenges of truly long-horizon thinkingThe benefits of contrarian thinkingWhy tribalism may be the worst problem facing humanityWhere anger came from and how it killsWhat it means to be truly free...and much else, including a number of items never before published
