Overview

We are in the midst of a profound social transformation. Friedman looks at what has happened so far and sends us reports from the trenches: intellectual property and privacy, identity and privacy, sex and censorship, the machine as fetish, the death of television news, the new workplace, cyber warfare, hate propaganda and the Zapatistos on the Net and more.

Synopsis

"Fuzzy Logic really is about how the Internet and related technologies have infiltrated our daily lives, how it is changing established social patterns, eroding older technologies at a hugely accelerated rate. There is a social cost to this kind of change, and a personal sense of loss or melancholy. Friedman evokes this bittersweet feeling without wallowing in it. More importantly, Friedman, with considerable good humor, deflates some of the more egregious babblings of the techno-Messiahs who would have us believe that we have reached a digital state of grace." --Mark Shainblum, Internet Quarterly
