'Boldly reactionary... What looks like feast, Carr argues, may be
closer to famine' Sunday Times 'Chilling' The Economist In this
ground-breaking and compelling book, Nicholas Carr argues that not
since Gutenberg invented printing has humanity been exposed to such
a mind-altering technology. The Shallows draws on the latest
research to show that the Net is literally re-wiring our brains
inducing only superficial understanding. As a consequence there are
profound changes in the way we live and communicate, remember and
socialise - even in our very conception of ourselves. By moving
from the depths of thought to the shallows of distraction, the web,
it seems, is actually fostering ignorance. The Shallows is not a
manifesto for luddites, nor does it seek to turn back the clock.
Rather it is a revelatory reminder of how far the Internet has
become enmeshed in our daily existence and is affecting the way we
think. This landmark book compels us all to look anew at our
dependence on this all-pervasive technology. This 10th-anniversary
edition includes a new afterword that brings the story up to date,
with a deep examination of the cognitive and behavioural effects of
smartphones and social media.
