I did not catch the title due to audio problems. It had a white cover with what looked like black lettering - how reference desk desperate is that? I caught the following titles - Deep Survival, Mind Hack, and Power of Persuasion.

(I forgot which year it was, but search for a recording of her talk at that conference.) Chris: You might eke out some other titles from Kathy’s talk at CUSEC 2005? 2006?

I started to try to track the book titles, but then Liz said she'd post them on the wiki so I stopped. I hope they do appear on the wiki or whatever public site springs up for the conference because many of us are interested in the titles. Sorry, Chris, but I didn’t write it down.

The other book I mentioned but didn't show is "Mind Hacks" from O'Reilly. They have a gread blog, too. http://www.mindhacks.com/ Just don't forget to have a glass of wine or bottle of scotch handy when you start down this road ; ) But remember there's hope at the end... awareness (and acceptance) of the brain's pulling-our-strings gives us a chance to scrape out a little free will after all.
