Nice interview (particularly the last half) with Steven Johnson about his books and "interdisciplinary zeal". His next book will be about "creativity that will involve the long zoom idea: thinking about creativity that's not necessarily something that happens between you and your notepad, but everything from the neurons in your brain all the way up to the city you're thinking in the middle of"...which sounds great.
