Maximum City by Suketu Mehta
The Selfish Gene -- Richard Dawkins
The End of Faith -- Sam Harris
Shadow Cities -- Rob Neuwirth

That's all for now, but I suspect there are more that this conference has/will put on my list
If you ever get around to reading Maximum City, please let us know your thoughts.

Great reading list! I want to read most of those, too. I finished Emergence a few months ago, and it's one of those books that has been sticking in my head, affecting the way I've been thinking about business and politics and technology and organizations. Everything Bad is Good for You is sitting next to my bed, next in line to be read after what I'm on now. I'm looking forward to hearing about what you think of these books when you read them!
