Into "The Shallows"

Hi Nick,

I just wanted to wish you all the best with your new book. On this topic, you may be interested in my PhD thesis which investigated the role of memory in personal information management. You can find a copy on my website.

Best wishes,

David

And in This Corner ... The 'High-Tech Heretic'!.
I hope Nick's new work can expand on that as well.
