Double Feature: The Facebook Effect and Is Google Making Us Stupid?
The Facebook Effect
Kirkpatrick traces the story of the most powerful social networking tool of our day from its humble beginnings to its role as an international phenomenon. The Facebook Effect is the only book written with the full cooperation of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Started only six years ago, Facebook can now claim more than 400 million users and a potential valuation of $100 billion by 2015. Is an IPO forthcoming?

Is Google Making Us Stupid?
Carr writes: 'Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski,' in his Atlantic Monthly cover story, 'Is Google Making Us Stupid?' He will share his theory on the Internet as the culprit against civilization's progress, making the case that the Internet has diminished our ability to think deeply.
