On the Media, and elsewhere
January 09, 2009
This weekend's edition of NPR's On the Media includes an interview with me about the upsides and downsides of cloud computing.
Next week, I think I'll be participating in a discussion about Google, inspired by Randall Stross's book Planet Google, at the Talking Points Memo Book Club.
Meanwhile, The Big Switch has popped up on some best-books-of-the-year lists, including ones issued by PopMatters, The Times of London, Fast Company, and Business Pundit. It was also named one of 2008's sleeper hits in publishing by the Associated Press.
Advertisement: Are you ready for "The Big Switch"? Nicholas Carr's new book "is the best read so far about the significance of the shift to cloud computing," says the Financial Times. The Independent says it's "lucid and mind-boggling." Order now from Amazon.com.
