I’m rather suspicious of a recommendation from someone who begins by saying he hasn’t read a book and then goes on to describe it in with some detail as well as vague phrases. How does he know the book’s material enough to say its eight chapters are “brisk,” for instance? If he hasn’t read it, on what is he basing this article? If he has in fact read it, saying “boyd’s book is the most important analysis of networked culture I’ve yet to read,” is incorrect. It should say, “I’ve read yet,” or perhaps, “I’ve ever read.”
