Steven Johnson, Interface Culture

To find out more about Steven Johnson, a technology writer who currently fascinates me, I started by checking Gale's Biography in Context database.  His bio entry from Contemporary Authors online introduced me to an early work of his, "Interface Culture," which sort of sounds like the Marshall McLuhan manifesto of this age.  Whereas McLuhan focused on writing and communication in the age of mechanical reproduction, Johnson is clearly focusing on the post-mechanical age--that is, google rather than Guttenburg.  One thing that strikes me as cool: whereas McLuhan has only one tool to focus on (the printing press...though, later, mass media), Johnson points out that new tools for handing/process info on the web are released every single day.  The web is constantly changing, so the effects that the web has on us are constantly changing, especially as our tools for interacting with it are constantly changing.
