@JamesGleick

One of the great science writers --- he knows how to bring science into the public discourse.

A regular and relevant contributor here.

Rumour has it that Gleick once met with John Mastodon (in an undisclosed location) and explained Chaos Theory to him. John was forever changed: kinder, more forgiving, aware of the impact of small acts of kindness.

(...) It is like what we imagine knowledge to be:
dark, salt, clear, moving, utterly free,
drawn from the cold hard mouth
of the world, derived from the rocky breasts
forever, flowing and drawn, and since
our knowledge is historical, flowing, and flown.

Still getting favs and boosts from a post linking to James Gleick's interview with William Gibson.

I've been collecting my favorite bits from their delightful books for years.
