Summary: Good history overview but...
Review: The book is a brief but decent historical overview of technology and its negative effect on the world. They don't really state anything new in this area that has not been covered in more detail by other writers. If you are new to this topic the book is a fine place to start. However if you have been keeping up with whats going on and the possible solutions you won't find anything new or useful here. Also if you are looking for what you can do locally in your community or society as a whole there is nothing for you. The only problem I have with the book is their solution to the problem which is even more technology! Like most tech enthusiats they are incapable of seeing the side-effects of implementing new technology on society. Evidently they have fogotten Eistein's famous quote on this: "You cannot solve a problem with the same thinking that created the problem to begin with." Also their coverage of the internet and computers is pretty simplistic at best. Especially the effects it will have on future generations.

Summary: More Chronicle than Critique, but interesting nonetheless.
Review: There was nothing earth shattering new in this series that has not been covered by the author before. I thought this suggestion at the end about use "web of knowledge" were interesting. But those looking for a more in depth study of subjects of this nature would be better served in getting "The day the Universe Changed" by the same authour
