具體描述
At once a celebration of technology and a warning about its misuse, The Glass Cage will change the way you think about the tools you use every day.
In The Glass Cage, best-selling author Nicholas Carr digs behind the headlines about factory robots and self-driving cars, wearable computers and digitized medicine, as he explores the hidden costs of granting software dominion over our work and our leisure. Even as they bring ease to our lives, these programs are stealing something essential from us.
Drawing on psychological and neurological studies that underscore how tightly people’s happiness and satisfaction are tied to performing hard work in the real world, Carr reveals something we already suspect: shifting our attention to computer screens can leave us disengaged and discontented.
From nineteenth-century textile mills to the cockpits of modern jets, from the frozen hunting grounds of Inuit tribes to the sterile landscapes of GPS maps, The Glass Cage explores the impact of automation from a deeply human perspective, examining the personal as well as the economic consequences of our growing dependence on computers.
With a characteristic blend of history and philosophy, poetry and science, Carr takes us on a journey from the work and early theory of Adam Smith and Alfred North Whitehead to the latest research into human attention, memory, and happiness, culminating in a moving meditation on how we can use technology to expand the human experience.

不愛 Carr 的文風，讀來很費勁。
评分A grand abstraction called progress is the glass cage.
评分其實本質還是獨立。人需要在沒有科技的環境下依然能夠獨立思考、獨立生存。工具隻是給我們的思考帶來瞭便利，但有時其實我們不需要那麼多便利，或者說過度的便利也是一種負擔。
评分the human will-to-technology arises out of that frustrating tension we so often experience between what our minds can envision and what our unaided bodies can accomplish.The practicality of technology may distinguish it from art, but both spring from a similar, distinctly human yearning
评分A grand abstraction called progress is the glass cage.
