Review: Outlier

by Benjamin Anderson 2. March 2009 12:24

Outlier is a great book.  It covers an unusual perspective that the individual is not the sole driver of one’s success.  The societal outliers are the result of linear progressions on inter-connected and related events.  It is a very interesting. and even entertaining read.  Definitely a must read.

Partial Review - Daemon

I haven't completely finished the book, but it is very entertaining, and I'd recommend it to anyone that enjoys sci-fi or tech thrillers.

Review: "The Cult of the Amateur: How Today's Internet is Killing Our Culture" by Andrew Keen

by Benjamin Anderson 26. December 2008 03:45
Stay away from this title.  Unless it is given to you, it is not worth your money and most likely your time.  This book is a complete disappointment.  The topic of how the Internet is impacting our culture is a great and interesting topic, and the impact of the rise of the blogger and social networks like Youtube should be discussed, even in a negative light.  But Keen fails to even discuss the topics.  His book offers little more than pompous complaining about his own down fall in comparison to the rest of the Internet technologists.

I’m frustrated that I bought this title and unable to return it.
