It's nice to hear from our audience. I agree that Nicholas Carr's review is interesting though I think it would have had much more power for me if he'd read past page 9. It's hard for me to give him much cred if he didn't read the rest of Weinberger's arguments. That said, I think negative reviews are great to read because it forces you to give it a more critical eye. Shelly (Burningbird) Powers didn't like the book much either. And I think her <a href="http://burningbird.net/technology/misc/" rel="nofollow">review</a> of it is very thoughtful and thought provoking. And she read the whole thing. Hi Michael,

Quite interesting, if a little long-winded. Nicholas Carr dished out a huge response to page 9 over here, entitled Long Player. Quite interesting, if a little long-winded.

Yes, I think you're right on with the dedication. Well, I don’t really have time, I’m just ignoring other things.

Wow. I think I get the dedication part. It's <i>To</i> the Librarians, <b>not</b> To <i>the</i> Librarians... that makes sense know where he's coming from. That idea kinds of builds on that LOC speech podcast of his I've plugged here before. Maybe I can get to it this summer. Wait, you have time to read? Wow.
