Everything Bad Is Good for You: How Today's Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter by Steven Johnson

5.0

Johnson is the anti-Keen. This is a balanced, reasoned, sensible, non-knee-jerk look at innovations and developments in entertainment technology and the effects they have on our brains. He looks at just a few aspects of video games, tv, and the internet, and acknowledges this. The tone of the book is such a relief after Keen's elitist "worship me" stance.
