Publisher Synopsis
"...Mitchell floats clearly conveyed assertions on a stream of technological and historical detail." Andrea Oppenheimer Dean Architectural Record "Mitchell's book, Me++ is an attempt to fill in the gaps, to understand the effects of all this on our already media-savvy selves when digital access to the web and to each other is now so commonplace as to have become a utility like gas or water." Financial Times "Sweeping, startling... provocative." Tom Vanderbilt I.D. Magazine "This book is a total gas to read and the very definition of 'thought-provoking.'" Bruce Sterling Metropolis " Me++ is an essential read for anyone trying to make sense of the bewildering advances that are transforming our world." Richard Mateosian IEEE Micro " Me++ is an exhilarating read, jam-packed with interesting facts, colorful phrases, imagery and sage insights." Joanne Baker Nature "MIT planning professor William Mitchell peers into the gloom better than almost anyone else." APA "...Mitchell floats clearly conveyed assertions on a stream of technological and historical detail..." Andrea Oppenheimer Dean Architectural Record "Mitchell's approach is hopeful (rather than hype-ful)..." Jim McClellan The Guardian "Sweeping, startling...provocative." Tom Vanderbilt I.D. Magazine "The brave new world of Me++ will allow us to rethink urban life from the bottom up." James Harking Financial Times Magazine "This book is a total gas to read and the very definition of 'thought-provoking'." Bruce Sterling Metropolis Read more...
