Why push something that your daughter isn't interested in? Technology is your interest, not hers. Get her some books by Dawkins. Turn her on to Earnst Mayer. Check some Stephen J. Gould out of the public library for her. Take her to Manhatten to see the Guggenheim and the Frick and MOMA and the Metropolitan. Let her become the healthy person she wants to be. Let her own her life.

She's read some of Dawkins and Gould and as parents we try our best to support all her interests but there's still a dearth of engaging books covering technical subjects at an intermediate level.

Bookstores these days only seem to have illustrated books for younger children and software books for "dummies".
