Description
A critique of the narcissism, ignorance and anti-communitarianism of the digital elite and their culture. Until now, the pronouncements of the high-tech gurus and society's obsession with them have rarely been questioned. The author of this text seeks to set the record straight, examining such issues as the lack of philanthropy among high-tech companies, the anti-liberal arts bias - which dismisses most art and literature created before the computer revolution - and the culture's misogyny.
