Is the Internet Changing the Way You Think?: The Net’s Impact on Our Minds and Futureby John Brockman

First published January 1, 2011

The book is full of short essays between one-two pages. Interesting ideas but nothing in-depth. So many of the essays talked about how the Internet was short / fragmented – and the essays in this book seemed written along the same lines: short (with some “essays” being a paragraph) and fragmented (with no discernable theme running between them).

This book may not be for everyone. You get to read responses from the likes of Clay Shirky, Steven Pinker, Brian Eno, and dozens upon dozens of others, answering the book’s title question. Don’t go in expecting lots of hard facts and research to back up each individual’s claim though, as the essays are often more anecdotal in nature.
