ROUGH TYPE

Rough Type is an independent blog written and published by me, Nicholas Carr. It's mainly about technology, culture, and economics, though it wanders into other areas at times. It was founded in 2005... I've been a freelance writer since 2003. I'm the author of five books - Utopia Is Creepy, The Glass Cage, The Shallows, The Big Switch, Does IT Matter? - and have written articles for many magazines and newspapers. I was formerly the executive editor of the Harvard Business Review. You'll find a longer bio on my personal site.
