Publisher's Summary:
The Internet, created during the Cold War, has now ushered in one of the greatest shifts in society since the Industrial Revolution. There are many positive ways in which the Internet has contributed to the world, but as a society we are less aware of the Internet's deeply negative effects on our psychology, economy, and culture.
In The Internet Is Not the Answer, Andrew Keen, a 20-year veteran of the tech industry, traces the technological and economic history of the Internet from its founding in the 1960s, through the rise of the big data companies, to the increasing attempts to monetize almost every human activity, and investigates how the Internet is reconfiguring our world, often at great cost. In this sharp, witty narrative, informed by the work of other writers, academics, and reporters, as well as his own wide-ranging research and interviews, Keen shows us the tech world, warts and all, and investigates what we can do to make sure the choices we make about the reconfiguring of our society do not lead to unpleasant unforeseen aftershocks.

Light on facts heavy on conjecture
author has an axe to grind, by the end you wonder if he has more than a handle left
Enjoyable, informative and slightly depressing
Opened my eyes to things I've never thought about. I'd like to listen again. Side note: Andrew Keen has a marvelous speaking voice; I wish he would have narrated!
Internet 4 Dummies
This book pulls the covers back on the Internet and how it affects society as a whole. not exactly what I expected but much better than I expected. it's better to have knowledge than to be blind. great book
Eye-opening
I will never look at the Internet the same way again. I used to look at it in an optimistic way, like it was a place of opportunity for anyone. Now I see it as an elitist and scary universe which threatens all of humanity.
Well-written and well spoken
The author spells out obvious truths that are not so obvious until you're shown what to look for. I believe his ideals will be the historical narrative of the Internet when children learn about it in the future..... right now we think it is the greatest thing, but the history books will look back and think of ourselves as being very foolish for not seeing the destruction it has sewn.
