You didn't list the name of the book, but since you list books that I know that Charles has written (and that I have read), I can answer. Yes, it is the same Charles Platt. Charles is a good writer. Pick up "The Silicon Man" sometime. It has recently been re-released (by some Wired spinoff, I believe.) Perry Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=10061
