Beyond Norad Santa Tracking

If you are ready to take on some real science in making sense of the Santa tradition, The Truth About Santa: Wormholes, Robots and What Really Happens on Christmas Eve might help. The book tackles the magic and real science that could power all that Santa does. Santa uses advanced versions of tech we now have: GPS, augmented reality, sensors and the like.

I found the discussion on Morning Edition with author Gregory Mone both fun and educational. And, there’s an excerpt from the book dealing with distribution challenges (a bit of an economics lesson).
