Stewart Brand - again

I don't know what it is - chance or selective perceiption? After reading his book "The clock of the long now" sometime in the 1999 or 2000, Brand dropped more or less out of my active memory. Now his name caught my attention twice within a few days. First there was the article about him in the New York Times (see my blog: Steard Brand; An environmentalist who has learnt a lesson from an economist"). Now it is a book review by Henry Lieberman in "Science":

From Counterculture to Cyberculture
Stewart Brand, the Whole Earth Network, and the Rise of Digital Utopianism
by Fred Turner. University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 2006. 353 pp. $29, £18.50. ISBN 9780226817415.

Perhaps Brand is worth a few hours of reading; we'll see.
