IEEE Spectrum has an interview with Smolin with regards to his deliciously controversial book "The Trouble With Physics, which is a stinging criticism of String Theory.
With both his and Woit's book getting huge publicity and the public's attention, there's some hope that those who might be seduced into this field of study due to Brian Greene's book and TV documentary might think twice. I'm not expecting that String Theory will die off. However, it is about time someone throw a lot of cold water to many people, especially young theorists, to wake them up and look carefully at what is going on.
