In this controversial new book, Andrew Keen argues that the Internet has had a disastrous impact on all our lives - and outlines what we must do to change it, before it's too late. Num Pages: 288 pages. BIC Classification: KNTX1; UBJ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 162 x 235 x 26. Weight in Grams: 524.

In this sharp and witty book, long-time Silicon Valley observer and author Andrew Keen argues that, on balance, the Internet has had a disastrous impact on all our lives.
