Authors & Journalists · The Shallows (book)

Author of The Shallows, part of the wider tech-criticism reading list behind this library's case against unchecked platform design.

Nicholas Carr is part of the secondary tier of technology critics the Evidence Library draws on for wider context. His book, The Shallows, is grouped among a broader body of critical writing on how the internet's design affects reading, focus, and thought. Alongside Jaron Lanier, Roger McNamee, Max Fisher, Adam Alter, Cal Newport, and Sherry Turkle, his work rounds out the case this library makes for rethinking how platforms are designed and who they affect.
