"Jaron Lanier's book "You Are Not A Gadget" is a timely polemic, a cry
of the soul in an increasingly soulless Web 2.0 world. I found reading
it a frustrating and inspiring experience. For every time I wanted to
throw the book at the wall in exasperation there was a time where Lanier
spoke to a part of me that the cultural transition from 90s cyberpunk to
2010s cyberpreppy had optimised out.
Lanier is asking the right questions. [...]
The problem is that Lanier's answers crash and burn from a lack of
detailed knowledge of non-cyber culture."
