What's wrong

Hey, I'm only half way through it but I'm loving this book. What's wrong with me? I found his chapter on e-books and publishing to be right on the mark and couldn't help but think of Napster when he talks about "dinosaur killers" in chapter 3, and Stephen Kings recent e-Book offering. I even double checked the publishing date as the book seems so current.Sure he is not as deep here as Postman or Roszak, but if you want an entertaining book you will buzz through in a couple of hours, get it.
