I've pimped Peter Watts a few times. I'm about to do it again -- because, very simply, he's my favorite contemporary SF writer, and his latest, "Blindsight," has the makings of a genuine full-throttle intellectual odyssey. Watts writes with lethal, knowing precision; I want to read passages from the book out loud to strangers, even if that means grabbing them by the throats and smashing their cellphones on the floor to make them listen.
