Planet Google
Randall Stross is with us for this week's TPMCafe Book Club, where we'll be discussing his latest book Planet Google: One Company's Audacious Plan To Organize Everything We Know. The book takes us inside perhaps the most innovative, successful, and controversial company of the 'Internet Age'. Where is Google leading us, how much do they know about us and how much do we really have a say in the matter?
Randall also writes the Digital Domain column for The New York Times and is a professor of business at San Jose State University.
He'll be joined by a panel of specialists and critics who've all weighed on the dynamic role Google plays in the world of information technology. Nicholas Carr is the author of a recent Atlantic cover article "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" and the bestselling book The Big Switch: Rewiring the World From Edison to Google (out in paperback this coming week). James Grimmelmann is an associate professor at New York Law School and a former resident fellow with the Information Society Project at Yale Law School, specializing in copyright, intellectual property, and internet law. Siva Vaidhyanathan is an associate professor of media studies and law at the University of Virginia, currently working on a book about Google, and maintaining the web site www.googlizationofeverything.com. David Vise won a Pulitzer Prize as a business reporter for the Washington Post, and is the author of The Google Story: Inside The Hottest Business, Media and Technology Success of Our Time.
