Subject: Re: Newsweek 2/27 - Cliff Stoll - Curmudegeon of Cyberspace
From Publishers Weekly, January 16 Collision on the Superhighway Astronomer Cliff Stoll takes more than a skeptical look at the information superhighway in "Silicon Snake Oil" (Doubleday, Apr.). Striking out against the Internet, which he calls an alluring "distraction from reality" that works against literacy, isolates people from one another and cheapens the meaning of actual experience, he tells us that, though "the Internet beckons brightly, seductively flashing an icon of knowledge-as-power, this nonplace lures us to surrender our time on earth" -- strong words from the man who wrote "The Cuckoo's Egg", about the awesome power of computer networking. Hoping to keep the lid on the book until the April pub date, Doubleday has dispensed with advanced galleys and is launching the title with Stoll's appearance on Prime Time Live and Good Morning America. ************************************************* Aldea Communications, Inc. | info@aldea.com | 1-619-929-1100 Home of NetPages(tm) - real yellow pages for the Internet.
