Klappentext zu „Utopia Is Creepy - And Other Provocations “
Through four books published over the last dozen years - Does IT Matter?, The Big Switch, The Shallows and The Glass Cage - Nicholas Carr has made his name as an incisive writer on our complicated relationship with technology. Utopia Is Creepy, a sharp and often funny indictment of our tech-besotted culture, collects essays drawn from Carrs popular blog Rough Type as well as seminal pieces that first appeared in The Atlantic, the MIT Technology Review and the Wall Street Journal, to provide an alternative history of our digital age over the last ten years. In well known essays such as Is Google Making Us Stupid?, The Library of Utopia or Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Privacy, Carr lays bare the pitfalls alongside the benefits of the internet age, and dissects the philistinism and misanthropy that underlie Silicon Valleys liberation mythology. With probing assessments of some of the crucial issues of the day, from online surveillance to the state of public discourse, Carr onceagain puts his finger on todays most pressing issues.
