Kritikerstimmen

"Offers a rare chance to discover big ideas before they hit the mainstream." ( New York Times Book Review)

Am relevantesten

This yearly edition offers every reader the possibility to be present at the focal point of worldwide intellectual discussion. It is like being present at one of those famous cafes in Paris where once upon a time the intellectual elite joined the discussion: sometimes slighty boring, sometimes performed with arrogance, but many times insightfull and really enjoyable. A book that is a must to have in "hard copy" for the far distant future when digital copies will have turned into "unsupported format", but the ideas will read like the articles of a "Physical review" magazine of the start of the 20th century: a mix between genious and ridiculeous.

Les deux magots of our times
