Virtual Unreality: Just Because The Internet Told You, How Do You Know It's True? (2014) - Plot & Excerpts

As a librarian, there wasn't a lot of eye-opening information presented. However, I love the concrete examples and how accessible the book is. I would love to see this used as a whole-school read because I think high school students could gain a lot from this book. If nothing else, I would like to find some teachers willing to add a chapter or two of this book to their course packs. Great for discussions. As a librarian, the title of this book caught my attention quickly. Then the introduction describing a digital connection between Bert the Muppet and Osama bin Laden hooked me totally. Have you ever heard of Internet sock puppets? Well, you'll learn about them here. You'll also learn how the digital information explosion is changing the ways we think without us even being aware of it. And don't miss the Top 10 Dicta of the Internet Skeptic in the Appendix. I plan to post them on my bulletin board at work for future reference.
