Book Synopsis
A witty, philosophically-informed, and openly polemical critique by Barbara Cassin of Google that looks at Google’s claims to organize knowledge, and its alleged ethical basis. This critique goes to the heart of the assumed benefits to humanity of increasingly advanced internet technology.

Trade Review
"A readable and entertaining, yet serious indictment of informational culture. Cassin's reflections give us a critical space to consider the cost of our acquiescence to the quantification of culture that lies at the heart of today's information-driven capitalism." -- -Mark B. N. Hansen Duke University
