Puncturing the zeitgeist 23 Oct 2000

By Paul-Michael Agapow (p.agapow@ic.ac.uk)

Format:Hardcover

Boorsook is no technophobe, but she sees something very rotten in the ranks of the dot-coms. It's not the technology she's gunning for - it's the people who are driving the information revolution. She savages overpaid programmers and industry pundits who are dismissive towards (or plainly ignorant of) people less "wired" than themselves. Along the way we get to see the working of techno-fetish magazine "Wired", the blinkered worldview of techno-libertarians and some oddly sad alternative lifestyles.

Scathing, perceptive and occassionally very funny, the book does have a few faults. (For example, her attacks on John Perry Barlow which although possibly deserved, sometimes border on the vicious.) Nonetheless this is an important lone voice crying for diversity in the new technological order.
