The best American science and nature writing 2013

Always enjoyable; this edition had maybe more hits than misses, compared to the series' average. Enjoyed the articles on the entrepreneurial Autism Inc (where autistic are matched into jobs for which they're uniquely suited), the immortal jellyfish clone (and the eccentric Japanese scientist who's dedicated his life to studying it), those kinky and hypersmart dolphins, and - of course - a good, wholesome undermining of Facebook and how it's soul-destroying. Indeed, the Facebook article informed my reading of E.M. Forster's The Machine Stops next!
