DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1FM presents\n\nNICHOLAS CARR\nTHE SHALLOWS: What the 
 Internet Is Doing To Our Brains\n  \nNicholas Carr understands the 
 overwhelming changes we're all experiencing due to the new electronic media 
 and the omnipresent Internet. His explosive Atlantic cover story "Is Google 
 Making Us Stupid?" charged that the ever-increasing amount of time we spend 
 online is eroding our capacity to read carefully and think critically. This 
 set off the raging national debate that is the basis of "The Shallows: What 
 the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains"  - a probing exploration of exactly 
 how the Internet is rewiring our synapses and dangerously upending our 
 cultural priorities.\n \nFormer executive editor of the Harvard Business 
 Review, Carr is the author of The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from 
 Edison to Google and Does IT Matter?:  Information Technology and the 
 Corrosion of Competitive Advantage. He is also a regular contributor to the 
 New York Times, the Guardian, Wired, and the Financial Times.\n \nNicholas 
 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."\n-   Dana Gioia, former chairman/National Endowment for the Arts\n 
 \nWelcome to the shallows, where the uneducating of homo sapiens begins. 
 Carr does a wonderful job synthesizing the recent cognitive research. In 
 doing so, he gently refutes the ideologists of progress and shows what is 
 really at stake...the reconstitution of our minds.  - Matthew B. Crawford
