«Superficiales: ¿Qué está haciendo Internet con nuestras mentes?» is the essay by Nicholas Carr, published by Taurus in paperback (344 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from the question «¿Google nos vuelve estúpidos?», Carr argues that the Internet alters our neural processes and makes us skilled at skimming information, but less capable of concentration and reflection. With scientific evidence, he contrasts the Net, which imposes speed, with the printed book, which invited deep and creative thought.
It belongs to the Pensamiento collection and corresponds to the 4th edition, published on January 26, 2017. Translation by Pedro Cifuentes Huertas; the original work is in English.
A popular science work for readers interested in technology, psychology and digital culture and in the debate on the cognitive effects of the Internet.
Nicholas G. Carr is an American journalist and writer who has published books and articles on technology, business, and culture. His book The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains was a finalist for the 2011 Pulitzer Prize in General Nonfiction.
