DIGITAL VERTIGO
out May 22, 2012

Andrew Keen has found the off switch for Silicon Valley's reality distortion field. With a cold eye and a cutting wit, he reveals the grandiose claims of our new digital plutocrats to be little more than self-serving cant. Digital Vertigo provides a timely and welcome reminder that having substance is more important than being transparent.
-- Nicholas Carr, author of The Shallows What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains

A bracing read. From Hitchcock to Mark Zuckerberg and the politics of privacy, a savvy observer of contemporary digital culture reframes current debates in a way that clarifies and enlightens.
 -- Sherry Turkle, author of Alone Together

Andrew Keen is that rarest of authors: one has taken the time to understand the benefits of technological innovation before warning us of its risks. 
- Paul Carr, author of Bringing Nothing to the Party

In in this timely and important book, Andrew Keen once again thinks one step ahead of social media pioneers, posing questions they will need to answer or risk facing a digital uprising.

Andrew Keen is a voice of informed caution, a Silicon Valley insider warning against false prophets and a future that may destroy as much as it creates.
-- Mark Bauerlein, author of The Dumbest Generation

Digital Vertigo provides an articulate, measured, contrarian voice against a sea of hype about social media.  As an avowed technology optimist, I’m grateful for Keen who makes me stop and think before committing myself fully to the social revolution.
