A brilliant and thoughtful handbook for the Internet age. Bob Woodward Incisive ... Refreshing ... Compelling. Publishers Weekly A crisp, passionately argued answer to the question that everyone whos grown dependent on digital devices is asking: Wheres the rest of my life? Hamlets BlackBerry challenges the widely held assumption that the more we connect through technology, the better. Its time to strike a new balance, William Powers argues, and discover why it's also important to disconnect. Part memoir, part intellectual journey, the book draws on the technological past and great thinkers such as Shakespeare and Thoreau. Connectedness has been considered from an organizational and economic standpointfrom Here Comes Everybody to Wikinomicsbut Powers examines it on a deep interpersonal, psychological, and emotional level. Readers of Malcolm Gladwells The Tipping Point and Outliers will relish Hamlets BlackBerry.
