Poison pen review by Evgeny Morozov of a book on privacy
. Sample: “Had Jarvis written his book as self-parody—as a cunning attack on the narrow-mindedness of new media academics who trade in pronouncements so pompous, ahistorical, and vacuous that even the nastiest of post-modernists appear lucid and sensible in comparison—it would have been a remarkable accomplishment. But alas, he is serious. This is a book that should have stayed a tweet.” Also: “This is how Sarah Palin would read Habermas if she could read Habermas.” Good times!
