Overview

"Magisterial...Draws an elegant and illuminating parallel between the late-19th-century electrification of America and today's computing world." -- Salon Hailed as "the most influential book so far on the cloud computing movement" ( Christian Science Monitor ), The Big Switch makes a simple and profound statement: Computing is turning into a utility, and the effects of this transition will ultimately change society as completely as the advent of cheap electricity did. In a new chapter for this edition that brings the story up-to-date, Nicholas Carr revisits the dramatic new world being conjured from the circuits of the "World Wide Computer."
