Create Your Own Economy —

In this book, Cowen takes a look at current technology—social networking, digital music, micro blogging, smart phones, etc—and shows how these things allow us to better educate ourselves, keep in touch with our loved ones, and even help us develop richer personal identities. // Create Your Own Economy also highlights a burning issue in our national debate: autism. Appreciating “neurodiversity,” or the range and depth of people’s various cognitive abilities, is now more important than ever. // “In fact, mainstream society is already reaping benefits from mimicking autistic cognitive strengths.”
