X-Prize book just came out!
Hey Guys,
A book about the X-Prize just came out. It's called INGENIOUS, by Jason Fagone.
I was actually given an advanced copy and just finished reading it right as it is coming out to the public. It's really good, following the people behind four of the teams that entered the X-Prize (especially Edison2)
You can read my review of it at:
Book Review: ingenious
It's available at all the main online booksellers and the author's site is at: Ingenious the Book « Jason Fagone
I think anyone on this site would like it.

Where did you see this?
I bought a copy tonight, at my local bookstore, Willow Books, and I'll start reading it tonight.

I read about it, Neil.
It's mentioned when Fagone introduces the Edison2 aerodynamics bloke.
They also use VGs to cure a flutter / air detaching issue on the VLC wheel pods when they spot it in the GM wind tunnel.
The race seems lost ....

I am reading it, and I will look forward to the Barnaby Wainfan portion. I met him at the Knockout Round, and I discussed several topics with him. The book has been great so far.

I liked the bits about Barnaby. He sounds like a neat guy.
