"A Financial Times 'Best Summer Book of 2025 in Technology'"
"The “superbloom” of flowers produced a superbloom of people, trampling the poppies, causing gridlock and creating a public-safety hazard. For Nicholas Carr, a thoughtful critic of technology and its consequences, all this is a metaphor for today’s media-saturated world" -- The Economist
"Carr, for his part, extols a ‘more material and less virtual existence’… it’s going to take wilful acts of sensory deprivation for us to come to our senses." -- The New York Times
"The case Carr makes is compelling..." -- Los Angeles Review of Books
"Mr. Carr is a thoughtful analyst . . . We think being ‘connected’ to one another will produce feelings of connection. Mr. Carr shows again and again that it just ain’t so." -- The Wall Street Journal

Nicholas Carr is the author of The Shallows, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, and five other acclaimed books. A former executive editor of the Harvard Business Review, he writes for the Atlantic, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal. He lives in Oregon.
