Review

"[Bill Davidow] shows how the unanticipated effects of the Internet are distorting economics, politics, and individual lives."  --James Fallows, National Correspondent for The Atlantic

"Davidow argues compellingly that connectivity without coordination is a formula for chronic instability, and that hyperconnection without coordination is a formula for mega-catastrophe."
--David M. Kennedy, Pulitzer-Prize winning author

"[Davidow's] agile command of such a wide range of contemporary political and economic issues expands each page into a new, stimulating area of inquiry and original insight." --Stanley B. Prusiner, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1997

"I don't think I have ever read a book with more 'ah hah' moments. The book is brilliant, original, sobering and fascinating." --John Shoven, Director of the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research

Every policy maker, politician, and businessperson should read [Overconnected] to gain a deeper understanding into how the Internet will transform government, the economy, and our lives."
--Bill Bradley, Former U.S. Senator
