Rebecca Lemov reports on Harvard psychologist Bert Kaplan who set out to build the largest database of sociological information ever assembled. It was the mid-1950s, just before the dawn of the digital age (and the later big data projects). Kaplan, along with anthropologist A. I. Hallowell and a team of researchers, gathered research from a varied range of non-European subjects among remote and largely non-literate peoples around the world. Kaplan saw future researchers using the data through the cutting-edge Readex machine. However, technological developments and the obsolescence of the theoretical framework rendered the project irrelevant, and soon it was forgotten. The database was intended as a repository of humankind’s most elusive ways of being human, that is, an anthropological archive. This is a book about those encounters between scientists and subjects, between knowledge and machines - as well as the data that flowed out of them and the ways these were preserved or not preserved.

London: Serpent's Tail / Profile Books. 182 pp. Paperback large trade, very good condition, pages faintly toned, minimal edgewear. Lee Siegel provides a ruthless but witty challenge to conventional wisdom about the Internet. He argues that our ever-deepening immersion in life online does more than reshape the ordinary rhythms of our days. It also reshapes our minds and culture, in ways that we haven't yet reckoned. The web and its cultural correlatives and byproducts - such as the dominance of reality television and the rise of the bourgeois bohemian - have turned privacy into performance, play into commerce, and confused self-expression with art. And even as technology gurus ply their trade using the language of freedom and democracy, we cede more and more control of our freedom and individuality to the needs of the machine. This book extends 'The Medium is the Message', by Marshall McLuhan, to Web 2.0. The author is an American cultural and art critic.

Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press. 210 pp. Hardback octavo, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), minor edgewear. Dorothy and Jerome Singer assess how television, video games and computers (being easily accessible today) have an impact on imagination and creativity. The two authors (both psychologists) are two wise and long-admired observers of childhood make-believe, whether cognitive (fantasy) or behavioural (play). They are concerned about moral ambiguities created by electronic media. Violent images in games and TV are as toxic as many observers have feared by stimulating destructive ideas and troubling aggression. However, they argue that in fact some screen time can enrich creativity and play, and can even promote school readiness (provided not excessive). With guidance from parents and teachers, empathy and creativity can expand and intensify in the electronic age. Dorothy Singer is Senior Research Scientist in Psychology at Yale University. .
