There’s a documentary based on portions of the book, it’s only maybe 80 minutes long and is fascinating. I need to read the book so I can learn about everything else they only had time to touch on in the documentary. I love all these unexpected possible connections between everything!

There is a really great Freakonomics podcast on NPR that I like a lot.

I have been curious about this book for a while, but I haven’t got around to reading it yet. I am sure it would be a very interesting read!

I have this book borrowed from a friend, and really need to take the time to read it. It sounds like just the type of nonfiction that I gravitate towards. Like you mention, the information is less fresh nowadays, but some of the ideas in this book still get my brain buzzing! Great review today!

I read this a few years ago and loved it! I agree that much of it is probably common knowledge now, but when I read it I was spouting trivia every where – I think my friends and family were sick of me quoting stats from this book! His other books are just as interesting and I recommend that you give them a try
