Cover to Material WorldI’m finally back in the Bay Area again for a well-deserved vacation, and am looking forward to catching up with all my good friends. I already almost shot Fiid out of the sky, but he managed to maneuver his plane out of the path of my missiles. ;-) While over at Jamie and Kim’s place I got into deep philosophical discussions again about technology and the world in general. Kim turned me onto this remarkable book called “Material World: A Global Family Portrait” which contrasts the life-styles of peoples from around the world. Captivating book.
