Book Review by Joel
This is another book by Carr that I borrowed from a friend. This one is science fiction about a team of anarchists who are trying to ‘teach’ the world about how dangerous the information age is by misinforming the world about world events. Well if you are not well informed due to government propaganda, then misinforming really isn’t going to work. And the brother and sister super genius duo don’t figure that out until the end of the book. I wanted to go there to explain it to them but I couldn’t fit into the small print.

The idea was there, and the research into future country politics was intriguing, but this book didn’t do it for me. Sorry Carr. Maybe next time.

Joel.
