Published in 1992, it contains essays dating to the 60's and earlier. Its not for the layman wanting to read funny essays, you need to know calculus, advanced math, genetics, biochemistry etc. The best essays, "Put your brains in your pocket" by Arthur W. Hoppe was a prediction from 1974 that kids would get wrapped up in their portable computers.
Took me a long time to read as I only read 1 or 2 entries a night, with time to look up what was over my head.
