Recommended Book: ‘The New Cool’

Take a look this new book — The New Cool,  “the astonishing story of a team of high school seniors and their remarkable mentor, who come together—not to play a sport or exercise their athletic prowess—but rather to build a machine that will battle in the most heated, sophisticated robotics contest in the world — the FIRST competition.”  I met Neal Bascomb (the author) and Amir Abo-Shaeer (MacArthur Genius Award winner and the focus of the book) at the FIRST kickoff, and they are amazing.  This book is excellent!
