Non-Fiction

I'm listening to Bill Bryson's, "A Short History of Nearly Everything" and I am loving it.
As for visually reading: any DUers read or are reading this?
I just started reading it last night. The reviews are great, and it should be a slam-dunk for me but I'm not quite feeling it yet. What did/do you think?
Inspired by Octavia Butler's explorations of our human relationship to change, Emergent Strategy is radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help designed to shape the futures we want to live. Change is constant. The world is in a continual state of flux. It is a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. Rather than steel ourselves against such change, this book invites us to feel, map, assess, and learn from the swirling patterns around us in order to better understand and influence them as they happen. This is a resolutely materialist spirituality based equally on science and science fiction, a visionary incantation to transform that which ultimately transforms us.
