The Internet, in the memorable words of EDGE founder John Brockman,
is 'the infinite oscillation of our collective consciousness
interacting with itself. It's not about computers. It's not about
what it means to be human - in fact, it challenges, renders trite,
our cherished assumptions on that score. It is about thinking'. In
How is the Internet Changing the Way You Think?, the latest volume
in Brockman's cutting-edge Edge questions series, 154 of the
world's leading intellectuals - scientists, artists and creative
thinkers - explore exactly what it means to think in the new age of
the Internet: from Nicholas Carr's reflections on what the Internet
is doing to our brains, to Richard Dawkins's sanguine assessment of
its long-term potential for good; and from Clay Shirky's assessment
of the impact of the Internet on the dissemination and sharing of
knowledge, to Ian and Joel Gold's observations on the seismic
social changes it has brought about. Editor John Brockman has
assembled a world-class array of contributors, which includes (in
addition to those mentioned above) Daniel C. Dennett, Martin Rees,
Steven Pinker, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Sean Carroll, Brian Eno, Douglas
Coupland, Matt Ridley, and scores of others at the epicentre of
research in their respective disciplines.
