A few months ago I read Fantastic Voyage by Kurzweil and Grossman. If you’ve been feeling a little sluggish or just plain unhealthy and want to change your ways, I really recommend this book. Some parts are a little out there (their goal, after all, is to actually live forever) but I think the fundamental message is true. It’s the straight goods on human dietary needs mixed with a dicussion of future technologies that will help us stay alive until the planet will no longer support us.

Kurzweil’s one of the most exciting thinkers on the planet, the inventor of the first reading machine for the blind and, I’m told (source: Hans at Wiki Tuesday) that he’s the only person to start two, count ‘em two, billion dollar companies.
