Screen Future: The Future of Entertainment, Computing, and the Devices We Love - Book by Brian David Johnson, Intel Press (and more)

I subscribe to InteractiveTV Today, which focuses on news and information about interactive multi-platform television.  Brian David Johnson, an Intel Futurist, is the author of the Jet Set column in ITVT.  His most recent article provides a good overview of Intel's Developer Forum (IDF) in his article, Get Your Geek On.  


In my opinion, the best part of the article were Johnson's links to his new book, Screen Future: The Future of Entertainment, Computing, and the Devices We Love, and a video interview of key players in the world of the future of interactive television/media.

About Screen Future: "Screen Future is about the people, technology, and economics that are shaping the evolution of entertainment. Blending social and computer sciences, media history, and engaging conversations with industry experts, author Brian David Johnson provides an informed and illuminating vision for what happens when TV and entertainment are transformed by the power and intelligence of computers."
