    Looking for some new material to add to your science fiction reading list? Below are 32 books that have pushed the boundaries of the genre, inspired generations of thinkers and in some cases have even predicted key aspects of societies development.
    Foundation - Isaac Asimov
    From Amazon,

    Foundation marks the first of a series of tales set
    Gnomedex And Its One Thousand Tales started by sbspalding
    Gnome sex.

    It’s what you get if you run Gnomedex through an iPhone’s spell checker. Just one of the minor bits of wisdom I picked up at this years conference.

    Gnomedex came and went last week in Seattle, Washington. What did you miss? Well, Chris and Ponzi Pirillo put on stellar event, the Web proved it can [...]

    There is nothing like sitting in on a Focus Group to give you a bit more perspective on your industry. Last night I had an opportunity to sit in on one, and among other things it proved once again how completely detached from reality all of us tech types are.

    One of the main thrusts […]

    The Internet, Information And Changing The World started by sbspalding
    It used to be so hard to, you know, do things.

    There was a time not so long ago when we were all bound tight by the twin chains of proximity and imagination.

    You could travel just about as far as your American Express Platinum card could take you, and the fuel for your creativity was [...]

    The Dangers Of Citizen Journalism started by sbspalding
    By now I’m sure many of you have heard the story about citizen journalist Brian Conley being detained in Beijing while documenting pro-Tibetan protests during the Olympic Games. While I do not personally know Brian (having exchanged only a few messages with him on Twitter), my good friend Dan Patterson knows Brian quite well, [...]

    The Dead Mail Department started by sbspalding
    Like Edgar Allen Poe, there are some of us who would love to reach the living from the grave. In the days before the “internets”, you wrecked havoc through your Last Will and Testament or by leaving stuff in drawers, hidden and forgotten but sure to scar your loved ones for life when they rummage [...]

    We are currently working on getting the server situation straight. In the meantime, there are a few things that you should be aware of.
    The first is that the Archives are broken, I know this and will replace them with an interim solution soon.

    How To Analyze People Search started by sbspalding
    I spend a lot of time interviewing entrepreneurs, bloggers and the like so I find it really interesting when someone requests an interview with me. Jeffro at Jeffro2pt0 (a great blog that you should all check out), sat me down to talk about my tome on “Web 3.0″. He
    The Internet: Then And Now started by sbspalding
    The absolute best thing about the web is that no matter how long it has been, there really isn’t anywhere for a website to hide. So lets have some fun and take a look, way back, at some of the companies that helped to build the Internet as we know it today.

    Requiste $15 Billion Facebook Polemic started by sbspalding
    I think I may have heard somewhere that Facebook has raised $740 Million at an, “Oh my goodness, we’re investing in the Internets!” valuation of $15 Billion. Since this only seems marginally more sane than the MySpace platform, I thought I’
    What Is Web 2.0? started by sbspalding
    Until recently, I was utterly convinced that is was just a buzz word we invented to attract investors hungry for interesting sounding new portfolio companies. And you know what, it just might be. That being true, I think there might be a bit more too it.

    Web Users Averse To Snake Oil started by sbspalding
    Have you ever thought that a product review seemed a little less than objective? That John Everyman waxing poetic in that Amazon review box sounded a little too much like the used car salesman who really tried to sell you on that Chevy Vega back in college?
    Turns out you are not alone.

    Analysis: Mainstream Media vs. Blogosphere started by sbspalding
    According to the most recent census data, the United States currently has 201,000,000 adults aged 18-65. About 180,000,000 of these people are Internet users. The question I wanted to ask is what is the state of the blogosphere’s penetration into the public consciousness. %0

    The Music Industry’s Uncomfortable Adolescence started by sbspalding
    Consider these two scenarios.
    Elton John could walk into almost any venue in the country, write down a price and a time on the back of a napkin and he would have himself a gig. Not only that but he’d likely sell that gig out in all but the largest venues. So could Prince, the Re

    So, you have been trying to come up with a good way to prove that you are the biggest geek that you know? Even after you picked up your memory stick utility knife and that World of Warcraft custom credit card, you still feel that there is some little bit more that you can do. [...]
    SKIN: Tattoos That Feel started by sbspalding
    Imagine a tattoo that you could change as easily as your last pair of pants. Imagine one that you could switch out with little more than a gesture, one that would shift to fit your mood. Phillip Design will be presenting a project that does just this at the upcoming Dutch Design Week.

    How To Review Doof started by sbspalding
    Doof is an interesting web service that takes all of those fun flash games that we have grown to love and wraps it snugly into a social network. Not a bad plan when you notice the sheer number of games they have, the ability to compete against people across the world, and a treasure trove [
    Welcome To Internet started by sbspalding
    Other than being a hilarious trip back into the very womb of the web, this video, made in 1993, allows us to get some perspective on how the web has changed since its beginnings as a glorified instant messaging service to a platform for applications, information and entire industries.

    How Techmeme Might Work started by sbspalding
    It is Saturday and it is time for tech news to turn its gaze inwards once again. Today, Jason Calacanis has once again put out a juicy piece of link bait. This time, it’s about Techmeme. Ignoring the rest of it (he does make a certain amount of sense), I wanted to instead of
