Great Mambo Chicken and the Transhuman Condition: Science Slightly over the Edge

Rating:
Summary: Very amusing look at outrageous science
Review: This is a highly entertaining look at the far edges of science: cryonics, living in space, nanotechnology, low cost rocketry, etc. Regis is a very gifted, very funny writer, and the whole book is told in a tongue-in-cheek style that makes it well worth reading. If you've got a teenage son, daughter, niece, or nephew that has a scientific bent, this is a very fun book to share with them -- the characters in it demonstrate a passion for science that is almost childlike in its sense of wonder. But DON"T TRY THIS AT HOME . . .
