Check out the links in this post on John Barlow’s Blog.  Huxley or Orwell?  Toffler or Postman?  You make the call. 

Also, the saga of Barlow’s book, Intoxicated, is an interesting read.  Barlow left a comment on one of my posts and I have been visiting his blog on a regular basis.  He linked to Grumpy Old Bookman’s take on it a few days ago, and I think that is a good place to start.  I also think the book should be marketed to my mom.  She is a retired English teacher, and although she is American, from the description of the book, she would love it.  She is reading the Val Landi book right now, maybe I’ll get her to read that one next.  I’ve been too busy reading my student’s stuff to read anything else.
