Praise for Overconnected:
“Overconnected is an extraordinary book that challenges us to re-think our almost slavish devotion to cyberspace.”
—Stanley B. Prusiner, Nobel Laureate in Physiology in Medicine 1997
“[Overconnected] has direct and powerful relevance for finance, telecommunications, urban planning, and environmental policy. The author draws amazingly powerful insights from across many different fields, and frightens as well as enlightens, the reader. A superlative job.”
—Tom Campbell, former Dean, Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley; five-term U.S. Congressman
“I don’t think I have ever read a book with more ‘ah ha’ moments.”
—John Shoven, Director of the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research
“One of the pioneers of modern technology shows how the unanticipated effects of the Internet are distorting economics, politics, international relations, and individual lives. This book is clear, original, and worth being widely read.”
—James Fallows, The Atlantic
