Franklin Foer on Google
Franklin Foer is currently making the rounds promoting his recent book and writing anti-tech articles. I just got through reading his chapter on Google from that current Luddite-inspired book "World Without Mind." I eborrowed it from the fantastic L.A. Public Library online ebook lending ecosystem, reading it on my new Kindle -- that I must admit is one of the best tech purchases I've made in years, though I long (incorrectly) felt that I didn't need one given all the other screens at my disposal. If you want to know Foer's Google-hater views in a nutshell (he's fascinated by Descartes by the way, and is constantly trying to make parallels), it's that he's the kind of guy who would accuse Dungeons & Dragons players of being hardcore Satanists who need to be burned at the stake. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): https://www.vortex.com/lauren Lauren's Blog: https://lauren.vortex.com Google Issues Mailing List: https://vortex.com/google-issues Founder: Network Neutrality Squad: https://www.nnsquad.org PRIVACY Forum: https://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: https://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Google+: https://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list https://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
