    <p>This book a timely advancement of the notion that we can <em>learn</em> without having to be <em>taught</em>, and do it for the <em>content</em>, rather than the <em>credential</em>. Moreover, in keeping with the can-do, gatekeeper-agnostic attitude of the autodidact, as a project, <em>Don't Go Back to School</em> represents living proof of <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1528125592/dont-go-back-to-school-a-handbook-for-learning-any" title="Don't Go Back to School: A handbook for learning anything by Kio Stark &#x2014; Kickstarter" rel="dct:references">the power of crowd-funded publishing</a>.</p>
    <p>I am the sixth interview, and easily the least internet-famous of the whole lineup. Pretty stoked to be counted among such talented people. And no, I haven't read the whole thing yet! I got an electronic copy <span class="parenthesis" title="I am very picky about my reading surfaces.">just in time for my ebook reader to bite it</span>, but luckily the dead-tree version is in the mail, so I'll have to update after I get it. I'm eager to dive in. Thanks again, Kio!</p>
