"Being Digital" ( Nicholas Negroponte )

From the Paper:

"Nicholas Negroponte, in Being Digital, has written a fascinating and delightful analysis of the world of modern technology, particularly communications technology. The book can be read and enjoyed by the technocrat, the lay user of computers, and even those who have no use for high-tech communications but are nevertheless open to an adventure in ideas and cultural analysis.

At the same time, as this review will argue, there is a degree of naivete to the book which gives the computer revolution a rosy glow and overlooks or minimizes the potentially negative consequences of that revolution. This failure on the part of the author has created a book which is primarily a cheerleading exercise, if a fascinating and often brilliant one, for the digital revolution. "
