SHALLOWS, THE - WHAT THE INTERNET IS DOING TO OUR BRAINS

Part intellectual history, part popular science, and part cultural criticism, 'The Shallows' sparkles with memorable vignettes, Friedrich Nietzsche wrestling with a typewriter, Sigmund Freud dissecting the brains of sea creatures, Nathaniel Hawthorne contemplating the thunderous approach of a steam locomotive, even as it plumbs profound questions about the state of our modern psyche. This is a book that will forever alter the way we think about media and our minds.
