Faster: The Acceleration of Just about Everything by James Gleick, ISBN 067977548X
From the bestselling, National Book Award-nominated auhtor of Genius and Chaos, a bracing new work about the accelerating pace of change in today's world.

Written with fresh insight and thorough research, Faster is a wise and witty look at a harried world not likely to slow down anytime soon.
