Today's Wall Street Journal brings us a review of another book to shelve next to Clay Shirkey's Cognitive Surplus
, Jaron Laneir's You Are Not a Gadget
, Nicholas Carr's The Shallows
and a couple of other books I need to find out about.
David Harsany reviews the book and writes this:
It convincingly argues that we've ceded too much of our existence to what he calls Digital Maximalism. Less scold and more philosopher, Mr. Powers certainly bemoans the spread of technology in our lives, but he also offers a compelling discussion of our dependence on contraptions and of the ways in which we might free ourselves from them. I buy it. I need quiet time. [more]
So, I haven't read the book yet, but it seems to me to be a worthy addition to the ever lengthening list.
