The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains

Concentration. I had enjoyed reading Nicholas Carr’s cover story in The Atlantic titled, “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” and I was a bit apprehensive that his new book, The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, might be nothing more than a ballooning of the earlier essay into a book with nothing new to offer readers. I was pleasantly surprised to find enough new content to satisfy most readers, especially neurological information. I especially liked the interesting digressions that Carr placed between chapters. Any reader looking to read a book that will stimulate thinking will find satisfaction from these pages.

Rating: Three-star (Recommended)
