Review: Nicholas Carr's Superbloom and Its Closing Analogy
Original: A Bruise Is Not a Proof Carr ends Superbloom with Johnson kicking a rock. A good book, and an analogy that stops short.
Nicholas Carr's new book Superbloom ends with an image of Boris Johnson kicking a rock, which a reviewer uses to question the book's closing analogy about pain and signals. The reviewer calls it a good book overall, but argues the analogy stops short, noting that pain is a signal the brain decodes, not simply proof of something.
Why now: Fresh commentary on a newly discussed book by a prominent tech critic is drawing attention among readers.
