| FT on Shallows Christopher Caldwell reviews The Shallows in the Financial Times: The subtitle of Nicholas Carr?s The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains leads one to expect a polemic in the tradition of those published in the 1950s about how rock ?n? roll was corrupting the nation?s youth; or in the 1970s about how television was turning kids into idiots; or in the 1990s about the sociopathology o [..] |

W. Norton, for editing and production. (The cover image below is provisional. It will be used in the publisher's catalog, but probably won't be the actual cover of the book.)
