Extended description

For nearly 10 years, William Van Winkle has interviewed some of the most brilliant and influential innovators, scientists, entrepreneurs, and luminaries behind today's technologies. In the “Architects of Tomorrow” series, the best of these interviews, all originally published in CPU magazine, are gathered into one place. Each interview contains previously unpublished and expanded content plus loads of 2011 follow-up discussion, making each chapter relevant and fascinating. For those who might find the 25 interviews in Volume 1 more than a mouthful, the dozen interviews of Volume 2 will be an equally fascinating read at a more manageable size.
