    Extractions: posted August 21, 2002 at 11:42 pm ET James Gleick is one of my favorite authors, mainly because of Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman , a brilliant book. I went to see him tonight down in Menlo Park at Kepler's Bookstore; he was in town promoting his new book, a collection of essays on the Internet called What Just Happened From what I heard at the reading and what I've read of his writing about the Internet, what just happened was what happened with the telephone at the turn of the last century. It connected people, changed how people interacted with each other, shortened distances, and changed the world. Along the way, he mentioned how many felt wary of the Internet after 9/11 because the terrorists had used it to plan the attack, but how that could really be said about anything ( as Matt said , it's silly to ban cell phones because they can be used for potentially illegal or otherwise bad activities). So far, so good. In the course of answering a question from the audience about the future of print journalism, Gleick made a curious argument for newspapers versus online media. He said that there's a quality associated with newspapers that the Web just can't match he cited weblogs at this point, which surprised the hell out of me and that the editing process and overall ideology of a newspaper like the NY Times is missing on the Web. The way in which he said it implied that this whatever-it-was just wasn't possible on the Web, which seemed odd in light of his earlier comments.

    Extractions: Home Page Other Essays Gleick, James (1992), Genius , Pantheon Books, New York: NY. ISBN 0-679-40836-3 Genius In this segment from his biography of Feynman, Gleick frames the often overused phrase genius as it applies to categorizing a particular type of intelligence - a level of analysis, comprehension, and insight that produces results that have the potential to redefine an area of knowledge. Caltech: In Search of Genius In the spring of 1955 the man most plainly and universally identified with the word genius died at Princeton Hospital. Most of his body was cremated, the ashes scattered, but not the brain. The hospital's pathologist, Dr. Thomas S. Harvey, removed this last remnant to a jar of formaldehyde. What a strange and bewildering literature grew up around the term genius - defining it, analyzing it, categorizing it, rationalizing and reifying it. Commentators have contrasted it with such qualities as ( mere "Enlightened, penetrating, and capacious minds," as William Duff chose to put it two hundred years ago, speaking of such exemplars as Homer, Quintilian, and Michelangelo in one of a string of influential essays by mid-eighteenth-century Englishmen that gave birth to the modern meaning of the word genius . Earlier, it had meant spirit, the magical spirit of a jinni or more often the spirit of a nation. Duff and his contemporaries wished to identify genius with the godlike powers of invention, of creation, of making what never was before, and to do so they had to create a psychology of imagination: imagination with a "RAMBLING and VOLATILE power"; imagination "perpetually attempting to soar" and "apt to deviate into the mazes of error."

He served in several capacities at the New York Times before taking a leave of absence to research a book, which became Chaos: Making a New Science (Viking Penguin, 1987). Returning to the Times as a science reporter, he focused for two years on esoteric areas of mathematics and physics. After the death of the physicist Richard Feynman, he left the Times again to begin work on a biography

77. Powells.com Interviews - James Gleick
    james gleick Catches Up With Time. A compression of time characterizes the life of the century now closing, james gleick writes in Faster.  
    http://westbynorthwest.org/winter00/james/index.shtml
    
    Extractions: Dave Weich , Powells.com Faster: The Acceleration of Just About Everything opens at the Directorate of Time, a compound so oddly reminiscent of old science fiction novels you could be forgiven for thinking the author is only trying to illustrate a point: that our society has become obsessed with time. In fact, the Directorate is real – on a hillside in Washington D.C., dozens of atomic clocks networked with others around the globe keep our planet's "official" time. "A compression of time characterizes the life of the century now closing," James Gleick writes in Faster . Consider, for example, overnight mail, itself a fairly recent phenomenon. "In the world before FedEx, when 'it' could not absolutely, positively be there overnight, it rarely had to," Gleick explains. "Now that it can, it must." And now, only a few years later, faxes, email, and the Internet have rendered even FedEx too slow for many jobs. Do people really want to live at this pace? Clearly, some do. But what are the costs? "It might be simplest to recognize that there is time – however much time – and we make choices about how to spend it, how to spare it, how to use it, and how to fill it," Gleick writes. Those choices, of course, will go a long way toward determining the pace if not the quality of our lives.

    james gleick s Survival Lessons. The author of Chaos confronts personal tragedy and the meaning of time. By David Diamond. james gleick

    Extractions: The author of Chaos confronts personal tragedy and the meaning of time. By David Diamond James Gleick is one of America's most popular and lucid science writers, author of the best-sellers Chaos and Genius and of the forthcoming Faster, a widely anticipated look at technology's hurry-up impact on modern life. He's not too keen on face-to-face communications, though, and when I first email him to ask for an interview, his replies are evasive. He is still recuperating from a long hospital stay, he writes back; he is busy writing a book: "With few interruptions, I hope, for the rest of the year, and my point is that this isn't a colorful, two-person activity." Yet, if I insist, I can see him at his place in the country. "You are welcome to ... come visit briefly," he writes. The words don't quite convey the sound of a door slamming. Yes, it looks closed. But I sense Gleick on the other side, his hand on the knob, waiting to see if I will go away. I drive out for the first time in August 1998. Gleick and his wife, Cynthia Crossen, are living full-time in the country now, about an hour north of New York City. The road up to their home is long, winding, and rich with the smell of late-summer leaves. "Climb boldly to the top," Gleick had instructed. "Stay wide on the turns."
