Kesher Talk

"Making a career out of my midlife crisis by writing a book knocking down straw men" Dept. William Leon and I both commented on the Doug Rushkoff phenomenon last week.

Protocols has an ongoing discussion of his ideas - the smart-ass yeshiva bochers there are giving him a thorough and detailed and annotated and Jewishly knowledgeable and thoughtful and dispassionate and well-deserved fisking. (And there is more - just start at the top and scroll down; there are at least 10 posts by now.)

UPDATE: Protocols sez: "We've got a bar on the right that's a guide to the Rushkoff book-related posts." Cool.

UPDATE: The definitive fisking of Doug Rushkoff. Among many salient points is this: where on earth was this guy's editor? Doesn't his publisher care about how their reputation will suffer if they publish a book full of gross factual errors? Read the whole thing.
