Nicholas Carr is among the most lucid, thoughtful and necessary
thinkers alive. The Glass Cage should be required reading for
everyone with a phone
*Jonathan Safran Foer*
Written with restrained objectivity, The Glass Cage is nevertheless
as scary as any sci-fi thriller could be
*Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, author of Flow: The Psychology of Optimal
Experience*
Nicholas Carr is the rare thinker who understands that
technological progress is both essential and worrying. The Glass
Cage is a call for technology that complements our human
capabilities, rather than replacing them
*Clay Shirky, author of Here Comes Everybody*
A very necessary book, that we ignore at our peril. I read it
without putting it down
*Iain McGilchrist, author of The Master and His Emissary*
An important book ... deep and valuable
