In THE TYRANNY OF E-MAIL, John Freeman takes an entertaining look at the nature of correspondence through the ages. From love poems delivered on clay tablets to the art of the letter to the first era of information overload (via the telegraph) to the vast network brought on by the Internet, Freeman answers the difficult question, Where is this taking us?Put down your BlackBerry and consider the consequences. As the toll of e-mail mounts by reducing our time for leisure and contemplation and by separating us from one another in an unending and lonely battle with the overfull inbox, John Freeman--one of America's preeminent literary critics--enters a plea for communication that is more selective and nuanced and, above all, more sociable.
Review:
"I have felt e-mail's tyranny, and Freeman has some good innings on this subject....[But i]n his zeal to expose e-mail's dark side, Freeman...ignores its good and useful features."
Ben Yagoda, New York Times Book Review, 10/22/2009
