It is a whining, outrageous and defensive fantasy based on sweeping generalizations, falsehoods, paranoia and a form of condescension so pissy that it blinds the author to anything resembling reality.

I haven’t yet had the pleasure of reading Mr. Keen’s book, but I think that Terry Heaton’s opinions are, by proxy, “somewhat” congruent to mine. Furthermore, he nails these sentiments right on the head:

My biggest complaint with the book, however, is its black/white, win/lose, right/wrong, all-or-nothing perspective. In this he fails his argument and belies his own ignorance. His is the extreme view, not the views of those he labels utopians. I know many of the people he attacks in the book, and not one of them has ever expressed the cultural significance of the digital age from such an extremist stage.

I won’t contribute any more to that magnificent Troll, but as I said before — if you’re going to Troll, do it to raise some hype about your book. Which is what he did. So congratulations to him.

But otherwise, I suggest you do what you should do to all Trolls — ignore them and politely move on.
