Tonight: Steven Johnson Lecture

Steven Johnson's upcoming book, "Everything Bad Is Good for You: Why Pop Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter," argues that pop culture is becoming increasingly demanding of peoples' cognitive faculties, and that its increasing demands make us ... smarter.  We're lucky to get a preview tonight -- Johnson's book won't hit the shelves until early May.  Johnson is currently a contributing editor for Wired and a monthly columnist for Discover magazine, writing about politics, media, science, and technology. 

Join us tonight in Langdell North at 7pm.  If you'd like a sneak preview, check out Johnson's article in Sunday's New York Times Magazine.
