Book Review: Blown to Bits
By Kat Tanaka Okopnik
I don’t usually get this effusive about any book, but the authors of Blown to Bits have written a must-read handbook on the most important political questions we face regarding the present and future of technology. Whether you’re already familiar with these issues because you’re the go-to guy for all your less-techie friends, or you’re the bewildered by technology sort, Abelson, Ledeen, and Lewis have laid out the background and the analysis with in-book citations as well as pointers to sources and references available on the World Wide Web.
