Sinossi
Sono poche le cose che oggi facciamo senza l'aiuto dei computer. È questo il mondo che vogliamo? Nicholas Carr va al di là dell'entusiasmo per piloti automatici e macchine che guidano da sole, computer indossabili e medicina digitalizzata, mostrandoci il prezzo che paghiamo nel lasciare che il software domini sempre di più il nostro lavoro e il nostro tempo libero. Anche se ci rendono più semplice la vita, la rete e le nuove tecnologie ci stanno rubando qualcosa di essenziale, come la gratificazione legata al fatto di portare a termine un lavoro complicato nel mondo reale. Dalle fabbriche tessili del XIX secolo alle cabine di pilotaggio dei moderni aerei, Carr esplora l'impatto dell'automazione da una prospettiva profondamente umana, esaminando le conseguenze della nostra crescente dipendenza dai computer. Senza dimenticare che, usando mezzi così efficienti, rinunciamo a sviluppare competenze cruciali in vari ambiti, col risultato di trovarci in gravi difficoltà se lo strumento non funziona.

Recensioni
I loved his earlier book, “The Shallows”, which dealt with the issue of how the Web could be altering our ability to think deep. The book was well researched and well argued.

The best non-fiction books, in my opinion, shouldn't just entertain you, they should change you. Carr, like in "The Shallows," expertly takes an ubiquitous convenience of modern life -- previously, the internet, and now, automation -- and dismantles everyday idealistic assumption about the benefits
I loved absolutely every page of this book. It's not just a book about technology and automation, it's a book about learning what it means to be human.
What if the cost of machines that think is people who don’t? Nicholas Carr's The Glass Cage is an important counterpoint to the dominant automation-at-all-costs mindset of Silicon Valley. That more automation is better is not as obvious a conclusion as many of us would like to believe. Carr is defini Leggi tutto
The Road Less Traveled My first question on seeing this book was, is it going to be as successful and thought-provoking as Carr's previous book The Shallows? The answer is an unequivocal, "yes!" If you've not read The Shallows I recommend that you consider reading it first because many of the thoughts Leggi tutto
My husband's brain is better than a GPS. Usually, we scrap using the GPS machine because his navigating skills are better and more accurate. Basically, that's this book's message in a nutshell. The increased automation in society and the downsides of not honing skills that take time and experience ( Leggi tutto

I got an advance copy of Nicholas Carr's The Glass Cage for a book review, but I backed down from writing it. Carr continues to be a contrarian voice to counter the main trends in technology, yet critiques without offering up alternatives to the dominant trajectory he is reacts to, in this case, aut Leggi tutto
