Nicholas Carr cites a blog post of Clay Shirky's:
Reverence for literary classics such as War and Peace and In Search of Time Lost is a "side effect of living in an environment of impoverished access," before today's digital abundance.
(Edward Tenner, Wilson Quarterly, Autumn 2010, v.34,#4, p.92.)
Is it so?
Is it a provocative pose of Shirky's?
In addition to all the other things the Internet is doing, Carr says, it may be helping to create the post-literary mindset.
