Very 1984-ish in its predictions maybe?

You are getting a bit evangelical. 🙂

It’s interesting because it shows technology really is a double edged sword!

Thank you for linking up my review! 😀

I’m afraid I’m starting to freak people out with my obsession with this one. 🙂

You’re right, Katie, a world where no one reads and people think it’s all right, freaks me out completely!

It sounds kind of darkly delicious to me, I might have to try it out!

I wonder if that’s where she got the idea…or meme.

One of the things that I love but did not mention in the review is that Graedon uses so many amazing words in the story! I kept a dictionary with me while I read it- which is kind of the point of the book. Words matter!

I loved every moment of it — even thought it was slightly terrifying. Great review, and thanks for linking to mine!

I will definitely add this book to my list!
