review 1: This book was interesting, but I was pretty disappointed when about halfway through the book I realized the book had trailed off from the topics that had been most interesting to me - how we begin to organize and understand information in the context of our relatively new access to information. I expected a little more depth and detail into what "mental ordering" might actually look like, and different examples of ordinary people undertaking this activity. Instead, this book focuses on autism and neurodiversity, and Cowen definitely covered the topic with flair, discussing how autistics processing of information leads to different outcomes. I guess, in a way, I walked away having learned more, just because the topic was completely unexpected.
review 2: Tyler Co... morewen is a professor of economics and a prolific blogger. A reader of his blog wrote him an e-mail and suggested that he may be on the autistic spectrum. This book starts as a suggestion that many successful people have autistic traits and becomes a meandering essay on literature, politics, music, religion and the internet and the relationship of those aspects of culture with autism. Be aware if you read the book that he is not referring to autism as a medical pathology, but rather as a set of strengths and weaknesses - a cognitive profile - that exists in all people to greater or lesser degrees. I found this book fascinating and very readable... an interesting perspective on the modern world. less
