Book Notes: Big Secrets

September 9th, 2007

BooksBig Secrets by William Poundstone is an old book, but I still enjoy skimming through it every few years. The author did research into obscure subjects people don’t want you to know about. This is different from mysteries, which nobody knows the truth - there are no Loch Ness monster tales. This is stuff that is more on the level of urban legend or conspiracy theories, corporate secrets, and magic tricks. The easiest way to give you a glimpse of what’s inside is a quick list of the secrets plus some links if you don’t know what they refer to.
