520    Essayist Siegel is known for passionately arguing 
       contrarian points of view, which is why he's the perfect 
       person to write a critical book about the Web that has 
       almost nothing to do with technology and everything to do 
       with what it's doing to the people who use it. Siegel 
       forces readers to radically rethink a familiar medium, 
       arguing that the Web and complementary developments--from 
       reality television to the emergence of business prophets 
       like Malcolm Gladwell--are giving rise to a new and 
       malevolent mass culture, an "electronic mob," that 
       threatens to overwhelm long-held concepts of humanity, 
       democracy, and the individual. In making this argument, 
       Siegel offers up startling insights about all aspects of 
       culture--from American Idol to futurism, film techniques 
       to Internet dating--that reveal hidden connections and 
       dilemmas, providing a fresh and provocative vision of how 
       our world is changing.--From publisher description.
