Science, the internet, and the technological realm produce new words every day. In Virtual Words, Keats takes a look at some of them, exploring how they came to be, what they mean, and why some words survive and others fail, among many other things. Covering words like blog, singularity, and unparticle, this book offers endless delights for word-lovers, technophiles, and anyone intrigued by the essential human obsession with naming.
