Nicholas Carr is the author of The Shallows, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, as well as The Big Switch and Does IT Matter? His articles and essays have appeared in The Atlantic, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Wired, and the New Republic, and he writes the widely read blog Rough Type. He has been writer-in-residence at the University of California, Berkeley, and an executive editor of the Harvard Business Review.
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.

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。
評分工具本身不應該代替思考,不應該減輕有效的記憶負擔。工具的意義在於把那些不需要思考的工作自動化,成為第三隻手,而不是代替原來的兩隻手。自從放棄印象筆記以及各種各樣TODO應用之後,我的記憶力和對於工作的安排更加依賴於自己的記憶和判斷,雖然一開始給我帶來瞭一些負擔,但是現在我可以記住更多的東西,有更強的聯係能力。
評分看看
評分第一章到第八章有很有意思,但是第九章好像和前八章是兩本不同的書,雖然論述依然精彩,但是書的結構看來有點怪,減一星。
評分說實話最後兩章是有點東西的,最後一章最好,和前麵完全不像是一個人寫的
