The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains by Nicholas Carr

2.0

---

Starts off in an interesting history-of-intellectual-technologies path (mostly tracing the history of writing and its evolution into books and then into the Internet). About halfway through, we land in the present, and it becomes repetitive, paranoid, and a little bit grandiose. There are still interesting parts, but the first half is far more enjoyable.
