Review # 1 was written on 2012-09-26 00:00:00 Ratrice Bowden Never fear! The book is not going away! (Apparently) This book is a collection of essays about the disappearance (or the possibility of the disappearance) of books, both in the physical sense, as well as the broader topic of literature itself. A lot of essays talk about hypertext, which also gets interesting, looking at how computers and hypertext could change the way we read and how "literature" is written (or "written"). There are some unintentionally funny moments, since this book is from 1996. There's a lot like "There's this new thing with computers, called the World Wide Web, or WWW, and you can create your own 'homepage' or access other people's websites from around the world!" and comments about whether computer monitors will ever be high enough quality to read off of them without feeling like you're staring at pixels.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-05-10 00:00:00 Robert Christia I say "read" but I really only browsed it. The authors seem to have tried to put forward the most academically acceptable treatise on the ISC2 ten domains. This is not helpful for test preparation. We called this book the "yellow brick" for good reason. Spend your money on something else.
