Salvatore Basile’s book COOL hits Library Journal bestseller list at #7

COOL_Salvatore_Basile
Cool: How Air Conditioning Changed Everything by Salvatore Basile A Library Journal bestselling book

We’ve been big “fans” of Salvatore Basile’s delightful social history on the birth of the air conditioner for some time now. Really! We rate it right up there with Devil in the White City, The Pencil by Henry Petroski, and Salt by Mark Kurlansky.

Well, it seems we’re not alone in our enthusiasm for this quirky book. Library Journal just released their 2015 bestseller list for engineering and technology titles, and COOL: How Air Conditioning Changed Everything is sitting pretty at #7. Congrats, Sal!

NEXUS (Angry Robot Books, January 2013) receives rave review from Booklist

Ramez Naam’s debut near future technological thriller, NEXUS (Angry Robot Books, January 2013), is getting great early buzz, including this fantastic review from Booklist!

“Naam, an expert in new technologies and author of More Than Human: Embracing the Promise of Biological Enhancement (2005), turns in a stellar performance with his debut sf novel….Naam has set himself a difficult challenge here: he’s telling a story in which much of the action and dialogue takes place inside the characters’ minds. But he succeeds admirably: one scene, in particular, in which a character races to make changes to the Nexus system by reprogramming it inside his own head, is nail-bitingly tense….What matters here is the remarkable scope of the story and its narrative power.”
