    Big Issues: The Examined Life in a Digital Age

     
    Great writers cover the digital age.
    12/10/2001
    Forbes ASAP's Big Issues—essays on the digital age from some of the world's great writers and thinkers—is eagerly anticipated each year. This book collects sixty-three of the best contributions from the first five years of Big Issues. Works include John Updike's essay on truth, Peggy Noonan on time crunches, Andy Grove on productiveness, and Tom Wolfe on the next great innovation. Some essays (Elmore Leonard, Richard Ford) seem included for the big names rather than for demonstrating any brilliance on the subject of digital musings—but they're entertaining anyway. Essays here are long and short, light and dense, thought provoking and smile inducing. In short, the perfect beach book, even in the dead of winter.
