This seems a bit hackneyed, yeah?
"They’re the powerful, popular, charismatic geek dispelling the myth of the pocket protector in the only way he knows--as seen on TV. They’re living the lifestyle sold to them by reality television, celebrity culture and their prevailing visions of success. They’re following the MTV Spring Break, Girls Gone Wild-style tutorial for modern success, leaving a callow wake of complaints that stands in opposition to the values we associate with the web."
What values do you associate with the web? And are these really the only aspects of "modern culture" that may be shaping these people? The book sounds like sensational claptrap meant to demonize a social "other."
