• The Haves and Have-Nots: The True Story of a Reader Suddenly De-Invited from TED
  Long story short, from the opening night gala, TED rapidly segregates itself into two distinct groups:  Group A, (the people everyone would love to meet), and Group B (the people who want to meet those people.)  The people in Group B spend the entire TED conference running around with business cards, hoping for, you know, five seconds of face time with Sergey Brin, Bill Gates, Steve Wozniack, Cameron Diaz, or the like.  The people in Group A, on the other hand, spend most of TED trying to avoid the people in Group B.
