Open Source: A Question of Evolution

,----[ Quote ]
| I met Matt Ridley once, when he was at The 
| Economist, and I wrote a piece for him (I 
| didn't repeat the experience because their 
| fees at the time were extraordinarily 
| ungenerous). He was certainly a pleasant 
| chap in person, but I have rather mixed 
| feelings about his work.
| 
| His early book "Genome" is brilliant - a 
| clever promenade through our chromosomes, 
| using the DNA and its features as a 
| framework on which to hang various 
| fascinating facts and figures. His latest 
| work, alas, seems to have gone completely 
| off the rails, as this take-down by George 
| Monbiot indicates.
