He details many of the ways our Web Culture is threatening our institutions in the world. Everybody has hopped on the Web bandwagon without thinking of the great harm that on-line life is doing to our way of life and our cultural and artistic legacies. This is a very inhospitable time for the music lover and budding artist. In a world gone so awry, it is of some solace that there is someone out there that is speaking out AGAINST a world dominated by iTunes, iPod (which make listening to music like consuming fast food.) I never want to see my musical and artistic heroes on a computer screen. The geeks are winning, and everyone with a heart should fight back! Andrew Keen is a brave man for writing this book.
