A quote and a book all on the same day. This is surely a first. The reason for this is that I’m wading through piles of cuttings and printouts for the next issue of What’s Next (#30) and I’m facing an embarrassment of riches.

So here’s the quote:

“In times of crisis, only imagination is more important than knowledge” – Albert Einstein. Old quote right? But note that this is different to the usual quotation, the one that simply states: “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Quite a different meaning I think you’ll agree.

The book? How about The Revolution will be Digitalised: Dispatches from the Information War by William Heinemann. I haven’t read this yet but it looks interesting, if only for the bit on Julian Assange (I won’t say a word).
