Book Discussion and “How To” Series	Cognitive Science Book Discussion Series The Cognitive Science book discussion series Concludes on January 9th as we discuss the 3rd and final book in our series. FICTION: Sloan, Robin (2013)  Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore, Picador, New York, NY. (It's a novel, but it deals (colorfully and rivetingly) with the clash between so-called Old Knowledge (books) and New Knowledge (internet and other virtual forms of communication). Not only that, it's a great read--funny, swashbuckling, and serious by turns.) Register Here
