Michiko Kakutani at the New York Times reviews Andrew Keen’s book on the evils of Web 2.0. I wanted to recommend The Cult of the Amateur after I read it; many of the points that Keen raises therein are absolutely correct (such as the one I touched on in an earlier post). The digressions kept me from it.

. . .Mr. Keen wanders off his subject in the later chapters of the book–to deliver some generic, moralistic rants against Internet evils like online gambling and online pornography. . .

Recommended with reservations.
