“A maven of the history of ideas.” —The Guardian
“A deep thinker and gifted storyteller.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Mr. Johnson’s erudition can be quite gobsmacking.” —The Wall Street Journal
“Steven Johnson gives us history at its best: colorful, connected and compelling. . . . The Ghost Map is a masterpiece of historical writing.” —The Seattle Times
“Johnson’s writing derives its appeal from his ability to illuminate complex ideas in unpretentious language. . . . [his] prose is nimble, his knowledge impressive.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“Johnson is a polymath. . . . [It’s] exhilerating to follow his unpredictable trains of thought. To explain why some ideas upend the world, he draws upon many disciplines: chemistry, social history, even ecosystm science.” —Los Angeles Times
