Read Wired Magazine’s Q&A with Author Nicholas Carr

“on the Terrifying Future of Computing”

Nicholas Carr is high tech’s Captain Buzzkill — the go-to guy for bad news. A former executive editor of Harvard Business Review, he tossed a grenade under big-budget corporate computing with his 2004 polemic Does IT Matter? (Answer: Not really, because all companies have it in spades.) Carr’s new book, The Big Switch, targets the emerging “World Wide Computer” — dummy PCs tied to massive server farms way up in the data cloud. We asked Carr why he finds the future of computing so scary. Have a laugh!
