Steven Levy, the chief technology writer for Newsweek magazine, has written a number of best-selling books, the latest of which is "The Perfect Thing: How the iPod Shuffles Culture, Commerce, and Coolness." When we asked acclaimed software developer Marney Morris to comment on this interview and she responded: "I've been reading Steven Levy's thoughts on technology for over 20 years, and he is still as fresh and insightful as he was back then -- in the beginning days of the personal computer. Steven weaves the implications of technology change into social meaning with wit and intelligence. He was the best, brightest and funniest guy in the tech arena before he moved to Newsweek in '95, and he still is. He is a great guy and a great journalist. I'm honored that I got to say so."
