bah...'convergence' here means 'mash-up'...

BREAD! and MEAT!...= SANDWICH! it's amazing! it's a paradigm shift!

"The 9/11 World Trade Center attack was made possible by another (of aviation and large-scale building)."

that's not 'convergence'...it called a 'collision'.

@goldfarb: As Steven Johnson recently pointed out, in The Ghost Map it's not been until fairly recently that you could actually do that much human damage by flying a plane into anything. It really takes us being as well condensed as we are (and as accustomed to air travel) to make something like 9/11 have significant oomph.

Why aren't any of your editors posting about this damn story!!??

[www.sciencedaily.com]

"Ultra-dense Deuterium May Be Nuclear Fuel Of The Future"

Scientist's creating matter that weighs 100000 times that of water. And the editors don't think that's freaking new worthy! C'mon!

Well, the last time you guys recommended a book to me it was The Gone Away War, so I'll bite.

Of course, the book before that was Marienbad, My Love...
