JetWit Blog Beat: Giving new meaning to “plugged in”

JetWit Blog Beat by Crystal Wong (Iwate-ken, 2002-04) is a recurring item featuring posts from the blogs of various JET alumni.  Crystal is a former English-language writer for Kyodo News. She now works as a media planner in Chelsea and sorely misses all her favorite midtown ramen joints.

In his latest post on his blog (wayofthewest.wordpress.com), Rob Weston (Nara-ken, 2002-04), author of the rhyming novel Zorgamazoo, recommends M.T. Anderson’s Feed, an intriguing look into a not so unimaginable future where hybrid Internet-television content, and the ads that go along with them, are fed directly into our brains from birth.

Weston calls it a book “with deep resonance for the digital age.” Read the rest of his review here.
