Reviews for Blogging: How Our Private Thoughts Went Public
At last, a book about blogging that draws its inspiration and template not from politics but philosophy ranging from Aristotle to Hannah Arendt. Beautifully written, deeply contemplated, entirely convincing, Wolfe’s book is a signal contribution to media theory and the world at large.
