Conversation with Nicholas Carr

The Library Journal interviewed Nicholas Carr - "a journalist, cultural and technology commentator, and professional skeptic on issues of the Internet, social media, and the potential consequences of our love affair with technological progress. A 2011 Pulitzer Prize finalist, he has written numerous articles, essays, contributions to his blog Rough Type, and five books, including The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains and a recent collection of pieces from 2005–15, Utopia Is Creepy: And Other Provocations (both Norton)."

Carr answers questions about the need to contextualize information, about the impact of the internet on reading and writing, on the role of libraries, and more.
