Nicholas Carr is a 🏷️#writer on technology and culture whose books have been translated into more than twenty-five languages. His argument has been consistent across two decades: the tools we think with reshape what and how we think, faster than we notice and rarely in the direction anyone intended.

📝The Shallows, published in 2010 and a Pulitzer Prize finalist in general nonfiction, made the case that the internet's structure trains distraction at the cost of deep reading. His earlier books — Does IT Matter? and The Big Switch — argued that computing was becoming a utility and that the strategic advantage companies claimed from it would erode. The Glass Cage carried the thesis into automation and the atrophy of human skill. Superbloom, published in 2025, turns on communication technology itself, arguing that connection at scale manufactures friction rather than understanding. He was appointed Richmond Visiting Professor at Williams College for 2019.
