Intertwingle takes place in the future when, as Google CEO Eric
Schmidt put it, "every human being on the planet will have access
to every piece of information on the planet." Judy Breck uses
whimsy to shake us loose from obsolete concepts that are crumbling
schools and dumbing down kids. The characters in the stories are
thirty-somethings whom we meet living in the future. Howard
Rheingold muses in his Foreword: "How might the world of 2030 look
if enough people were to understand the possibilities that coming
technologies enable, and to create or repurpose our social and
political institutions to take full advantage of mobile-learning?
What if billions of people were able to attain more of their
potential -- something we're going to need in order to solve the
problems we've created for ourselves?" Ted Nelson, an information
technology prodigy said: "Everything is deeply intertwingled." Judy
Breck tells a compelling story where everyone lives happily ever
after in the intertwingled mobile tomorrow.
