This is a story about Houston, Texas. A city which, by all rights, should be the host not only to the 2012 Olympic Games, but also a wide range of global conventions ranging from space and nano technology to biogenetic research. The problem is that Houston has a secret. That secret is that Houston is not simply an energy hub or a great port city or the one of the best places in the country to live, Houston is a global ‘entrepolis’ but nobody seems to know it.
