 Send to email | The Shallows excerpt, reviews in General |  By Rough Ty
el 28-May-2010 | 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 note that the chapter itself, which is considerably longer than the excerpt, surveys many more studies than could be accommodated in the Wired piece.) I previously listed blurbs for...

| 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 album is an eerily propulsive work - heavy and light at the same time - and it's one that's easy to get lost in. The record comes out on May 7, but if you order a physical copy now - from here - you can download a digital copy i [..] Read complete article | | Published 10-Apr-2012 by Rough Ty in General

| 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.
