Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Utopia Is Creepy by Nicholas Carr Trenchant writing from a Pulitzer Prize finalist that dissects our obsession with technological utopia and looks towards a smarter future. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A freewheeling, sharp-shooting indictment of a tech-besotted culture. Carr draws on artists ranging from Walt Whitman to the Clash, while weaving in the latest findings from science and sociology. Carrs favorite targets are those zealots who believe so fervently in computers and data that they abandon common sense. Cheap digital tools do not make us all the next Fellini or Dylan. Social networks, diverting as they may be, are not vehicles for self-enlightenment. And "likes" and retweets are not going to elevate political discourse. Utopia Is Creepy compels us to question the technological momentum that has trapped us in its flow. "Resistance is never futile," argues Carr, and this book delivers the proof. Author Biography Nicholas Carr is the author of The Shallows, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, and four other acclaimed books. A former executive editor of the Harvard Business Review, he writes for the Atlantic, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal. He lives in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Review "[F]ull of wry vignettes and articles lampooning the motivated enthusiasm and game-changing promises of Silicon Valleys tech bro elite… by turns cute, funny or chilling. And its more than the sum of its parts." -- Sally Adee - New Scientist Review Quote "Well-organized and easily relatable, this workbook and companion guide will help kids understand categories of aggressive behaviors--such as how rude, mean, and bullying behaviors differ--and teach them to treat others with respect and kindness. Bravo for a fun, accessible anti-bullying activity program!"
