Nicholas Carr: The Shallows (2011, W. W. Norton & Company) 4 stars

Review of 'The Shallows' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I've been interested in this subject for a while now, especially seeing as I've noticed certain "changes" to myself with increased internet usage. The book started off a bit differently to what I had hoped, since the author mostly starts by explaining neuroscience and its history and later on the history of written language and books and what effects they've had on our brains.
A lot of the neurological changes the author touches upon are ones I have noticed in myself as well. While I did not fully agree with every argument put forth in this book, I agree with the majority and I believe it's one of the most important books to read at a time where the Internet has become an even more integral part of every day life than it was back when this book was written.
