The Geek Atlas has been released recently and its a top book for anyone into technology, be they a super geek or just a beginner geek. Its written by John Graham-Cumming, a real technology expert rather than author with desires to be a technology expert. His expertise has produced a book that is both really interesting but also very accurate, something many technology books by less technical authors fail to achieve.
It’s a collection of 128 (7 bits!) places around the world where interesting technological achievements or discoveries have taken place. What really sets this book apart is that its not simply an atlas of these places, but John goes into great detail about the science of each place with plenty to learn for even the most technologically knowledgeable.
If you are a geek then I highly recommend it, if not then buy it for the geek in your life.
