An Army of Davids
I just finnished reading Glenn Reynolds' new book "An Army of Davids". In it he expounds on how technology has empowered individuals and small groups. It is a theme that he has blogged about often at Instapundit, but in the book he also takes a peak at the some of the negatives. We are also empowering the bad guys. Hopefully, there are more of us than there are of them.Glenn doesn't just discuss the internet, but delves into other technologies such as rocketry, life extention, and nano-technogy. These effects on society are widespread and are empowering and Glenn does a marvelous job explaining the changes on our culture. This is not a tech book, but rather a study in social science. The changes to our culture and the cultures of the world, may prove more intresting than the technologies themselves.
