review 1: I wasn't sure what to expect from one of my favorite authors because this was way out of his genre. I picked it up anyway and was surprised at how enlightening it was regarding Internet Savagery, human psychology, and such subjects as punishment, enforcement of rules, etc. It was a short read, but it justified my position of not trying to support or defend things on social media that are highly contraversial and prone to Internet Savagery. Very interesting.
review 2: I first heard about David Preston when I saw him interviewed for 60 minutes, then began to learn of the batshit insane prosecuting attorney in the Amanda Knox trial who basically thinks *ermagerdeveryonesinthewholeworldzbeezsatanworshippurzz!*, and basically used this main paranoid belief in prosec... moreuting Knox and Solecito (sp?sorrytootired). While this is less about Knox, and more of an examination of the ugly, creepy, and deeply true side of the Internet mob mentality, this is a thought-provoking and timely investigation into the ugly side of human biology and our innate need to punish and create insular communities. less
