| 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 [..] Read complete article | | Published 01-Jun-2010 by Rough Ty in General

| The Shallows: the album | | Now this is pretty cool: The U.K. band I Like Trains has a new album coming out called The Shallows, which was inspired, at least in part, by my book of the same name.

| The Shallows: table of contents | | My next book, The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, argues that the tools we use to think with - our "intellectual technologies" - not only shape our habits of thought but exert an actual physical influence on the neurons and synapses in our brains. I look at the Internet, an extraordinarily powerful intellectual technology, in this context, examining what the scientific and hist [..] Read complete article | | Published 25-Jan-2010 by Rough Ty in General

| The Shallows excerpt, reviews | | The new issue of Wired features an excerpt from my new book, The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains. The excerpt draws on material from the chapter of the book entitled "The Juggler's Brain," in which I examine an array of research on how the Internet and networked computers are influencing our mental habits and altering the way we think. (For those of a scientific bent, I should n [..] Read complete article | | Published 28-May-2010 by Rough Ty in General

| "The Shallows": publication details | | I've completed my next book, The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, and the manuscript - actually, the wordprocessingscript - is with the publisher, W. 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.) The Shallows is slated to be published in North America [..] Read complete article | | Published 28-Oct-2009 by Rough Ty in General
