I’m an author and journalist, hopeful about the #TwitterMigration.

I write about science and technology and their cultural effects. My books include Chaos, The Information, and Time Travel, as well as biographies of Richard Feynman and Isaac Newton.

I’m working on a history of the telephone.

@JamesGleick. I'd love to read a history of the #telephone. Hope you'll include a reading of this (kidding/not kidding).

@CindyWeinstein “Tell me, Kim. How do you absolutely feel? In your deepest, secret soul!”

I can almost promise that I will. Thank you for sharing.

@JamesGleick. Yay! I'm so glad. It's truly one of my favorite scenes in any musical. Another favorite is Court Jester but I don't think there are any telephone scenes. Good luck with the book!
