Alex<p>Jeff Jarvis, Clay Shirkey, and Clayton Christensen (to name just three) are ultimately nihilists: They gushingly compare the internet to the printing press only because they see the creation of each as a “disruptive” event—they couldn’t care less about human flourishing, let alone about what made print so special (and the allure endures enough that they have the nerve to write books talking about how books and book culture suck). <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/book" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>book</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/booksToRead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>booksToRead</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BookQuoteWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookQuoteWednesday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a></p>

David Brent 📚<p>"He had seen the things he had spent his life defending brought to ruin... and this ruin had been accomplished with shocking ease, and in a shockingly brief period of time. Oh, I suppose all men of intelligence know how fragile such things as Law and Justice and Civilization really are, but it's not a thing they think of willingly, because it disturbs one's rest and plays hob with one's appetite." - The Eyes of the Dragon by <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/StephenKing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StephenKing</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BookQuoteWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookQuoteWednesday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p>
David Brent 📚<p>"Firmness, I may observe, was the grand quality on which both Mr. and Miss Murdstone took their stand. However I might have expressed my comprehension of it at that time, if I had been called upon, I nevertheless did clearly comprehend in my own way, that it was another name for tyranny; and for a certain gloomy, arrogant, devil’s humour, that was in them both." - From David Copperfield by Charles Dickens </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BookQuote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookQuote</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BookQuoteWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookQuoteWednesday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CharlesDickens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CharlesDickens</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p>
