He sounds like a typical liberal control freak that can’t stand freedom among the unwashed masses. Only the elites who have their minds right should be allowed to speak and influence society.

Maybe he should accept the inevitable and move to Venezuala where he’ll be happy.

The author may or may not have a reasonable opinion on the Internet; however, he is not a liberal. See this paragraph from the book review:

..."This book, which grew out of a controversial essay published last year by The Weekly Standard, is a shrewdly argued jeremiad against the digerati effort to dethrone cultural and political gatekeepers and replace experts with the “wisdom of the crowd.” Although Mr. Keen wanders off his subject in the later chapters of the book — to deliver some generic, moralistic rants against Internet evils like online gambling and online pornography — he writes with acuity and passion about the consequences of a world in which the lines between fact and opinion, informed expertise and amateurish speculation are willfully blurred..."
