Book Notes: The Filter Bubble

July 9, 2011 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

I recently read The Filter Bubble - What the Internet is hiding from you by Eli Pariser.  As you’re probably aware, Google looks at your search history and takes it into consideration in subsequent queries.  While over time our search becomes refined and personalized, Pariser argues that this happens at the expense of making our world view increasingly myopic.  If ...

Book Notes: The Emperor of All Maladies

March 27, 2011 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

I recently read The Emperor of All Maladies, by Siddhartha Mukherjee,  a rich account of how modern medical science has come to understand and treat cancer.  Cancer, I learned, is largely a preoccupation of modern times.  Cancer was hardly a concern before the early 20th century when pneumonia and tuberculosis were the number one killers.  We now live long enough to ...

Book Notes: Poke the Box

March 6, 2011 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

Poke the Box is Seth Godin’s latest book/manifesto.  This is different from his other books in that it runs only 70 pages and is published as part of a new venture with Amazon called The Domino Project.  You may remember last year Seth Godin rocked the world by suggesting he was done with mainstream publishers.  This is where he’s landed.
