London: Serpent's Tail / Profile Books. 182 pp. Paperback large trade, very good condition, pages faintly toned, minimal edgewear. Lee Siegel provides a ruthless but witty challenge to conventional wisdom about the Internet. He argues that our ever-deepening immersion in life online does more than reshape the ordinary rhythms of our days. It also reshapes our minds and culture, in ways that we haven't yet reckoned. The web and its cultural correlatives and byproducts - such as the dominance of reality television and the rise of the bourgeois bohemian - have turned privacy into performance, play into commerce, and confused self-expression with art. And even as technology gurus ply their trade using the language of freedom and democracy, we cede more and more control of our freedom and individuality to the needs of the machine. This book extends 'The Medium is the Message', by Marshall McLuhan, to Web 2.0. The author is an American cultural and art critic.
