This book is about finding things. Really it is more of a beginning, a collection of questions for anyone who wants to move ahead with new approaches, problems, and solutions. It is about the challenge Google promised to help us with: this basic human problem we were told would be solved once and for all. To find love. To find context. To find great art, and music, and cures for diseases, and more knowledge to add to our existing knowledge. What is finding, if not the epitome of the human endeavour? Get ready for an unusual read. Three chapters of this book are essentially about the internet. Three are essentially about other things. The author's slowly dying liver also plays a role.
