I started to get really interested when i read that only 5% of search is “done” [i am working on the other 95% ;) ] and the AI section at the end – i just finished reading Emergence and so connect quite well with this kind of applied thinking.

You said a book about Page and Brin would be “dreadful”. I actually quite enjoy reading these kind of things – especially having some knowledge of the role chance played in Google starting. Your right though – it is probbaly too early for many to appreciate.

My only issue with FT is that if i can read a book in 3 days, then my “book of the year” could still be published on Dec. 28. :)

The book is really great and I'm just glad that FT didn't overlook it considering it came out later in the year. You're in exactly the company you belong and I congratulate you on the accomplishment!
