Sarah Boxer of the New York Review of Books looks at ten blog-related books. Great overview of the social and cultural influence of blogs. Find it here.
One of the books included in the article, AGAINST THE MACHINE:
Being Human in the Age of the Electronic Mob by Lee Siegel, is examined in an interesting review by John Lanchester here in NYT.
“The fact that a man as smart as Siegel came to put Lonelygirl15 and Iraq into the same train of argument is a sign of the Internet’s power to make people lose all sense of perspective. The ramped-up affect of “Against the Machine,” its air of haste and its ad hominem quality are uncomfortably reminiscent of the blogs Siegel so dislikes.”
