It’s undeniable—technology is changing the way we think. But is it for the better? Amid a chorus of doomsayers, Clive Thompson delivers a resounding “yes.” In "Smarter Than You Think", Thompson shows that every technological innovation—from the written word to the printing press to the telegraph—has provoked the very same anxieties that plague us today. We panic that life will never be the same, that our attentions are eroding, that culture is being trivialized. But, as in the past, we adapt—learning to use the new and retaining what is good of the old.

Good to meet you today. Thanks for the book. Looks really interesting. I may pass this onto my brother when I've read it. He isn't a Bookcrosser but this is the kind of book that he enjoys.

I really enjoyed this. I’ve already recommended it to various friends and I’m taking it to Bordeaux to give away in the Bookswap game at the Bookcrossing Convention.
