 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 clichés 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 … \nthe reconstitution of our minds. What 
 emerges…inexorably, is the suspicion that we have well and truly screwed 
 ourselves.	 — Matthew B. Crawford \n\n
