"Neither a tub-thumpingly alarmist jeremiad nor a breathlessly Panglossian ode to the digital self, Nicholas Carr's The Shallows is a deeply thoughtful, surprising exploration of our áfrenzied' psyches in the age of the Internet. Whether you do it in pixels or pages, read this book."-Tom Vanderbilt, Author of Traffic: Why We Drive The Way We Do (And What It Says About Us) "Nicholas Carr carefully examines the most important topic in contemporary culture---the mental and social transformation created by our new electronic environment. Without ever losing sight of the larger questions at stake, he calmly demolishes the cliches that have dominated discussions about the Internet. Witty, ambitious, and immensely readable, The Shallows actually manages to describe the weird, new, artificial world in which we now live."-Dana Gioia, Poet and Former Chairman Of The National Endowment For The Arts
