Gathering a decade's worth of posts from his blog, Rough Type, as well as his seminal essays, \u003cem\u003eUtopia Is Creepy\u003c\/em\u003e is \"Carr's best hits for those who missed the last decade of his stream of thoughtful commentary about our love affair with technology and its effect on our relationships\" (Richard Cytowic, \u003cem\u003eNew York Journal of Books\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarr draws on artists ranging from Walt Whitman to the Clash, while weaving in the latest findings from science and sociology. Carr's favorite targets are those zealots who believe so fervently in computers and data that they abandon common sense. Cheap digital tools do not make us all the next Fellini or Dylan. Social networks, diverting as they may be, are not vehicles for self-enlightenment. And \"likes\" and retweets are not going to elevate political discourse. \u003cem\u003eUtopia Is Creepy\u003c\/em\u003e compels us to question the technological momentum that has trapped us in its flow. \"Resistance is never futile,\" argues Carr, and this book delivers the proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 8 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 12, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44513603780710,"sku":"9780393354744","price":24.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/d2t2eDRyaXZkbXZ6MHArdlV1T1lTdz09.webp?v=1770720862","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/utopia-is-creepy-and-other-provocations-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
