I hate to be one of those everyone-should-read-this-book guys but, yeah, everyone should read this book, at least for no other reason than you're on the intnernet, and, "Hey, the internet is changing the world!" And that's what this book is about. I won't explain the book. If you're interested in reading it, you may already have know what it's about. I like this book because a)I have delusions of starting an internet company and making a retarded amount of money; and b)the author believes that the internet will get rid of the blockbuster-hit-making-machine culture forced on us by the music industry, Hollywood, Oprah, etc. and subsequently change popular culture. Regarding the latter issue, the author, Christopher Anderson who is also the Chief Editor of Wired, basically says that the internet's potential to supply an economy of "infinite" supply will be met by infinite demand (think itunes, amazon, ebay) and people will no longer see all the same movies, listen to the same music and read the same books, but instead everyone will be into his or her niche. The countervailing force is the so-called water-cooler effect, whereby people consume the same entertainment in order to share and be part of a shared community. Anderson writes, "These days our watercoolers are increasingly virtual; there are many different ones and the people who gather around them are self-selected. Rather than being loosely connected with people thanks to superficial mass-cultural overlaps, we have the ability to be more strongly tied to just as many people if not more people with a shared affinity for niche culture." (191) It's interesting. I'm skeptical, but I'd like to believe it. I think the water-cooler effect (not to mention the positive feedback loop (a semi-related phenom.)) is pretty strong. The other thing this book made me realize (more like confirmed) is that if you're going to do a business, you're pretty much stupid unless you go online with it at some point. Speaking of which, what's up with H & M? Why don't they have an online store?

Chúng Mình Đi Đâu Thế? - Khám Phá Nước Mỹ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

For me, The Invisible Bridge is a powerful tale of unconditional love, the strength of friendship, and the instinct for survival. It is also a horrific display of the cruelty only humans are capable of. Did Orringer need 600 pages to make her point? That, indeed, is disputable. Readers are potentially put off by the prominent role of romance in this novel, but I believe it's rather sweet. If this tale is to be about a multi-generational Hungarian Jewish family that is about to be torn apart by the Holocaust, I wish to know more about them. I wanted to know who the Lévi's were and what hopes and dreams they harbored on the eve of World War Two. These details made them and their friends human, tangible, instead of just a number on that fateful train carrying Jews to labor camps or gas chambers. I found it heartening to read that even in the most barren and desperate conditions, people would find a way to keep going. What I particularly enjoyed were the descriptions of Andras' life in Paris. Having lived in Paris for a little while, the city has become quite dear to my heart. Of course, Paris around the millennium cannot be compared to the way the city was in 1937. But Orringer paints such a vivid image of the city of light, it's as if she herself has lived there, in those very times. I expected to learn more about the horrors of the Holocaust and the ordeal that Eastern European Jews had to endure. The Invisible Bridge not only met these expectations but also stirred up strong feelings. Because of the detailed descriptions of Orringer's characters, I slowly grew attached to them, and I cried when they suffered, cheered when they achieved success and pleaded for their safety when they were persecuted. There is nothing black and white about this book; spoiled and selfish Joszéf ends up a humbled and a more serious man. In the times in between being conscripted to yet another labor camp, Andras works for a Hungarian-Jewish newspaper that hides the awful truth of the ongoing war. Polaner mourns for a German consulate member who was assassinated by people with anti-German sympathies, but this man was not a Nazi at all. There are many more examples of right blurring into wrong and the other way around. If there were a lesson to be learned from this book, it is to remember that we are all equals, no matter our gender, race or religion.
