Walker’s Library: The metal spherical object is Sputnik

Jay Walker strides across roads where there are no crosswalks. And he collects the history of the human imagination as he goes. The entrepreneur and founder of priceline.com (among other things) has amassed a wealth of trinkets, books, and gadgets. Star atlases from hundreds of years ago, gold trimmed books, a moon of the globe signed by astronauts who visited it, a machine for drafting the Enigma code. Read an interview with Walker here. But there is sadly no mention of when the library will open to the public.
