Link: Rough Type: Nicholas Carr's Blog: Gilligan's web. I am not certain that I buy this "liberation mythology" argument. It certainly raises some interesting points but Clay's argument is not quite as "simple minded" as portrayed here. Sure there is the Gilligan analogy as an "opposing force" but that is not the gist of Clay's thesis in Here Comes Everybody.

So what is the thesis? Read the book. There is more here than is apparent on its face. It seems that Nick often likes to take the posture that his "hard nosed" view of the web is "real" and everything else is BS. The "hard nosed" view is valid but that does not imply that all others are simply "mythology." That is not only a disservice to Clay's work, it is simply wrong.
