Athens: Univ. of Georgia Pr., 2000. 216p. alk. paper, cloth $40 (ISBN 0820322296); paper $18.95 (ISBN 082032230X). LC 00-26718.	2001-09-01	2	.pdf	application/pdf	1265	71	59	Without completely denying the use­ fulness of computing for certain purposes, Bowers argues that computers threaten to dominate the entire world, imposing a monoculture on the planet and driving out traditional cultures that live more spiritually and harmoniously within the natural environment.
