I also find the mixing of real information in fictional stories. I was reading it over Christmas 2004. There is a chapter about a man made Tsunami and at the time it seemed to me unbelievable the destruction described in the book. A day later the Tsunami hit Thailand and I now see he underestimated the possible destruction. I found the interview clip a fine example of his reasoned response to the discussion. Well balanced, thoughtful and educational for his audience. I enjoyed this book very much. I also find the mixing of real information in fictional stories. I was reading it over Christmas 2004.
