What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A smart, unconventional book that takes readers far beyond what they think they know about a complex subject, Wasted is filled with surprising insights, careful analysis, and fascinating factoids. There’s something on every page for those who want to know more about science, business, and human behavior, all shown through the lens of, well … waste. This book isn’t just for geeks—but geeks of all stripes will love it.”—Kari Byron, former cast member of MythBusters
“The collection of amazing factoids makes for entertaining reading.”—Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Byron Reese and The Fourth Age
“The Fourth Age not only discusses what the rise of A.I. will mean for us, it also forces readers to challenge their preconceptions. And it manages to do all this in a way that is both entertaining and engaging.”―The New York Times
“In The Fourth Age, Byron Reese offers the reader something much more valuable than what to think about artificial intelligence and robotics—he focuses on how to think about these technologies, and the ways in which they will change the world forever.”—John Mackey, co-founder and CEO, Whole Foods Market
“Timely, highly informative, and certainly optimistic.”—Booklist
