Brain dump before I read and my thoughts inevitably shift. 1) I love Simon Winchester.
2) I start reading this with some trepidation about what his thesis may be. I lean towards utopian-esque thinking with technology , and therefore get annoyed by "computers/the internet/[insert whatever technology] is ruining our brains/humanity/morals, etc." Curious about where he goes here. If that idea, or more nuanced.
