Future Presence

You can argue it's too early to reading a book on such a rapidly developing technology, but then you'd be missing out on one of the best tour guides out there. Peter Rubin's tone is as hilarious as it is insightful, breaking down a complex technology but - more importantly - its impact in the future of things like community and relationships. Plenty of tech writers try to be both profound and funny about our future. Rubin actually pulls it off. Well-sourced and smoothly crafted - Summer reading that also manages to be essential.
