"Bailey tackles touchy subjects"

So declareth the excellent Charlottesville, Virginia-based alt-weekly The Hook. The Bailey in question is Reason's own Good Ronald and the tetchy subjects are those featured in his great new book Liberation Biology (come on and buy it already).

"I'm a technological optimist," says Bailey, "and a lot of people-- both left-wingers and right-- focus only on the bad possibilities of science. We create these scary monsters that never come true."

Whole thing here.

Ron will be reading from Lib Bio in Charlottesville--his hometown--on Dec. 1. Details in the article above.
