Mike Gene. It's not his real name, and no one knows if he is a he or a she, but none of that matters, because it's his (or her) book in any case. And never underestimate the power of the arguments of a pseudonymous Internet persona - I know I don't.

If you too would like to endorse the book, I'm holding further auditions in the comments section.

Not until you've read this thought provoking book will you realize that you too have a rabbit fetish. - bipod

Mike Gene's new book is the best thing since the Origin of the Species. Of course, after reading this, you might not think thats much of an endorsement.

The Design Matrix, the stunning debut by hitherto, and still, unknown author and possible scientist, Mike Gene, is a sympathetic portrait steeped in scholarship. A vast and sprawling epic, this magisterial tome is sure to delight some with its searing honesty, while infuriating without alienating those on the other side. This lagomorphic-pursuit-fuelled book bears an uncanny resemblance to fact and adds further fuel to the fire in the current debate, all the while elucidating for the modern reader, what is, at its core, the complex yet deceptively simple central question. The panoramic sweep of its deadly earnest narrative crackles with wit and captures the deceptively simple yet complex state of affairs. A heady mix of words, punctuation, and numerals, The Design Matrix has it all and challenges the reader to ingest a pill of a given colour, from which there may or may not be any turning back.
I literally couldn't put it down.

I look forward to reading Mike Gene's book, when it come out in the Fall of 2106. Of course by then, I'll be dead and ID will be proven, but better late than never.

Hi Bilbo,
I believe that by then, the designers will have returned, restoring the personality and memories of every person who ever lived in their own silicon quantum computer, with a robotic body of titanium alloy. From your nano-engineered mechano-frame, I believe you will have all the time in the world to read Mike's book. By then, of course, books as a medium will have been abolished, and everything is written in rainbows.

A foul book in which gross credulity and rank infidelity joined in unlawful marriage. Its conclusions are utterly revolting to me,–nevertheless they may be true.

ID opponents who open it will become IDers by the time they put it down. Indeed in his book Mike Gene shows you how deep The Rabbit hole goes.
