The Story of the Search, Applause Included - New York Times

The Story of the Search, Applause Included - New York Times ""Why not improve the brain?" he muses. "Perhaps in the future, we can attach a little version of Google that you just plug into your brain." No offense taken (though I will pass on the implant, thank you). If a 31-year-old tycoon worth $10 billion can't dream a little, who can? Wisdom is often the fruit of failure, and the Google founders have yet to taste any. So we look to the authors to supply a little perspective - a dose of humility, or at least editorial restraint. Alas, their uncritical, even celebratory approach does their subjects a disservice."
