Billy Crystal is 65, and he's not happy about it. With his trademark wit and heart, he outlines the absurdities and challenges that come with growing old, from insomnia to memory loss to leaving dinners with half your meal on your shirt. In humorous chapters like "Buying the Plot" and "Nodding Off," Crystal not only catalogues his physical gripes, but offers a road map to his 77 million fellow baby boomers who are arriving at this milestone age with him. He also looks back at the most powerful and memorable moments of his long and storied life.

What did you like best about this story?
It's like listening to a stand up act or good storytelling in one of his movies the whole time. Enjoyed every bit of it. Plenty of funny stories and laughs.

Could history repeat itself, with one giant entity taking control of American information? Most consider the Internet Age to be a moment of unprecedented freedom in communications and culture. But as Tim Wu shows, each major new medium, from telephone to cable, arrived on a similar wave of idealistic optimism only to become, eventually, the object of industrial consolidation profoundly affecting how Americans communicate.

Is the Internet erasing national borders? Who's really in control of what's happening on the Net--Internet engineers, rogue programmers, the United Nations, or powerful countries?In this provocative new book, Jack Goldsmith and Tim Wu tell the fascinating story of the Internet's challenge to governmental rule in the 1990s, and the ensuing battles with governments around the world.

Interesting look behind the fog of cyberspace
Revisado: 08-26-11
Very interesting look into how the internet was started, how it operates at its core, and how governments and other institutions can influence what happens on the internet and exert their power in direct & indirect ways that isn't always obvious.
If you read "The World is Flat" by Thomas Friedman, this presents an alternate and complementary view point of the internet and its affects on the world.

Great account of unique phenoma in Online Worlds
Revisado: 01-19-11
Started off a bit slow in the first couple chapters - it seemed like just a personal record of the experiences in virtual worlds, but then really gets into the culture of these games when he digs into stories of corporate espionage in Eve Online, his experience with a mafia boss within Second Life, the slaughter of a funeral ceremony in World of Warcraft, how Second Life helps persons with disabilities in real life, how sex translates into the virtual space, its real world value from the virtual economies, and when he meets the 'King of the World' of Lineage II in South Korea. I found it a very useful gathering of interesting happenings & cultural shifts in virtual worlds - I enjoyed it more with each chapter. :) Useful to people just learning about Virtual Worlds, and enjoyable to those that are already familiar with them.
