review 1: Good but could have been more interesting. His argument is not controversial -- celebrity, 15 minutes of fame, reality tv, voyeurism, social networking etc are all symptoms of a society seeking to connect and reestablish the village of our ancestors all the while hiding behind the veil of privacy desperately seeking to alleviate our loneliness which is our fate in the modern urban world. In the end he's not sure if its a problem or not.
review 2: The subject of this book is interesting. It made me think a lot about how technology (blogs, email, texts, facebook, etc.) is changing how we interact and socialize with each other. I read this book for a bookclub, and then was too sick to go to the meeting. I do think it would be a fun book to discuss though becaus... moree everyone "peeps." I bought this book from Amazon because they didn't have it in the library, if anyone is interested in reading it let me know and I will send it to you! less
