OK, so you may remember that a few months back a little magazine called The New Yorker decided to make a list of 20 top fiction writers under the age of 40. Another magazine -- something called "Granta" -- does similar lists from time to time. But why does nobody ever make such lists for non-fiction writers?

The problem making such a list is the width of non-fiction writing. There are hundreds of thousands of books and probably millions of non-fiction articles published each year. Who is the best writer under 40 in physics, biology, medicine, history, and on and on.
