Dawkins has a new book out (you no doubt are aware of this but just in case): "Brief Candle in the Dark".
Also recent and related ("a disciple of Richard Dawkins"): Matt Ridley, "The Evolution of Everything" -- it gives credence to the idea that the SPUR types here in SF are little different from the Creation Science types; both believe some kind of top down planning is necessary for humanity to "advance". SPUR of course believes they are the all-knowing planners (witness their past designs: freeways and urban renewal housing projects) and the Creationists believe that some all-knowing entity has done the planning (witness, well, everything).
