BOOK REVIEW: DOWN AND OUT IN THE MAGIC KINGDOM (2003) * * 1/2 (2 and a half stars out of 4).
External link:
This was three stories in one. The first was the story of where technology is headed. This part of the book is fascinating and thought provoking, even if some of the philosophical implications are dismissed too quickly. The second story is just a long-winded, fawning tribute to the Magic Kingdom. I like Disney World as much as anybody, but this just went on much too long without any real point. Finally it is a murder-mystery. While there is a bit of a clever twist here, it is extremely contrived and difficult to follow, and ultimately unsatisfying.
This is The Official Record.
