I read some excerpts on Amazon, and the book is fantastic! A real candid look behind the Xprize and several teams. It's hilarious, informative and everything i wanted to know. The Edison2 engineers are particularly noteworthy. It looks like he was embedded with several teams, Edison2, Aptera, West Philly, and Illuminati motor works. It's a really important record of events not seen in press releases.

Here's a great interview about the that describes it better than i can: http://www.motherjones.com/media/201...s-book-x-prize

Jason is going on tour to the North East this winter with Illuminati's 200mpge "Seven" electric car. I'm thinking about going to the New York stop this December. They're offering rides in their prototype electric car along with the book presentation. If you have a good place where they can make a stop, Virginia to Boston, send them a message on the blog. Their currently looking for places to visit.
