09.30: Clive Thompson

2013-08-14 01:34:58| Powells Books Events Calendar

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: How Technology Is Changing Our Minds for the Better (Penguin Press), 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 worry 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's good of the old.
