You Are Not A Gadget

06Lanier hat den Begriff der "Virtuellen Realität" erfunden. Das World Wide Web bedroht, vermindert, zerstört das kollektive wie das individuelle Leben und damit greift das Internet in alle Aspekte unseres Lebens ein.07In You are not a Gadget digital guru and virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier reveals how recent developments in our culture are deadening personal interaction, stifling genuine inventiveness and even changing us as people.02Jaron Lanier, a Silicon Valley visionary since the 1980s, was among the first to predict the revolutionary changes the World Wide Web would bring to commerce and culture. Now, in his first book, written more than two decades after the web was created, Lanier offers this provocative and cautionary look at the way it is transforming our lives for better and for worse.
