I’m so behind in my book reviews that I am writing this over two months later than reading the book and I am struggling to remember anything about it! I’m sure that tells more about my terrible memory than about the memorability of the book!
I am not good at reading non fiction – I get bored and frustrated at the way non fiction books draw out the telling of information in a way that seems to me to be pure padding, but I must have enjoyed this one well enough by the very fact that I finished it.
I do remember that, even thought the book was published in 1989, there was a fair bit about computers and how the information age is shaping our intelligence, which was quite prescient and it would have been interesting to see what he made of the new proliferation of internet browsing and AI – is this the next step in human kind – computer intelligence?
I’m sorry this review is so rubbish. My intelligence is clearly devolving!
