This slim volume provides an interesting discussion of the alienation of people from their personal technology, such as powerful smart phones and Netbook computers, and the way in which that alienation prevents users from harnessing the potential social, economic and political empowerment provided by better technological access to knowledge and media. Mitra, a professor of communications at Wake Forrest University, provides an engaging discussion, including examples and anecdotes examining ways in which ordinary people have become alienated from their tools and ways in which users can overcome their technological alienation by attempting to understand the language of technology and asking questions.
