High Tech Heretic: Why Computers Don't Belong in the Classroom and Other Reflections by a Computer Contrarian

The High Tech Heretic by Clifford Stoll is a thought-provoking and entertaining critique of the computer industry's exaggerated benefits.

This book will spark debate across the country, as Stoll challenges the relentless drumbeat for "computer literacy" and questions why scarce education resources are being diverted to computers in the classroom.

With his droll wit and penetrating gaze, Stoll focuses on everything from the cultural aftershocks of our high-tech society to how to turn an outdated 386 computer into something useful.

As a P.

J.

O'Rourke of the computer age, Stoll is nothing less than barbed, opinionated, and essential.

Don't miss this insightful and entertaining look at the real impact of computers on our lives.
