“A refreshing take on a topic often covered by people who feel that
the Internet…threatens to imperil our children and undermine our
society.”—Jessi Hempel, Forbes.com
"This is a superior work. Not only is it well researched and
elegantly argued but he makes some original observations about how
digital technology is changing the nature of human
self-expression."—John Gapper, The Financial Times
"Jarvis offers a persuasive and personal look at why sharing things
publicly on the Web should become the norm... Jarvis works
methodically in Public Parts to unravel long-held beliefs about why
openness online is dangerous... Jarvis' message of openness will be
provocative to many, but what he explores is only the beginning of
a revolution that will continue to change how we use the Web—and
how the Web uses us."—Mark W. Smith, Detroit Free Press
"The author of What Would Google Do? returns with another
thoughtful look at the Internet age. A welcome and well-reasoned
counterpoint to the arguments that social-networking sites and the
easy availability of personal information online are undermining
our society and putting our safety at risk... A must-read for
anyone interested in the issue of connectivity versus
privacy."—David Pitt, Booklist
"It's important and will become more so, and I'm very glad Jeff has
written his valuable book."—Stephen Baker, author of The
Numerati
"How do we define what is public and what is private? What are the
benefits and dangers of living a life in which everything is
shared? Jarvis explores these questions and more in his immensely
readable, chatty style... No one knows what's going to happen next.
But people like Jarvis are having fun making sense of these
confusing early years."—Niall Firth, New Scientist
"Jarvis makes a powerful case for re-framing the way we think about
privacy, and for better appreciating the benefits of “publicness”
in the information age."—Adam Thierer, Forbes.com
