Steven Johnson responds to (blasts? slams?) theMAY 11 2006

Steven Johnson responds to (blasts? slams?) the endangered joy of serendipity piece I just linked to, arguing that the web is a much better serendipity engine than the library. (BTW, I think Steven is part machine himself...after posting that link, I took out the trash and ducked out to get something at the bodega around the corner and when I got back, there's a message from him in my inbox with a link to his rant. Jesus.)
