: Why Today's Pop Culture Is Making Our Kids Smarter
é o título do novo livro de Steven Johnson. Quem leu Interface Culture e/ou Emergência, certamente vai querer conferir. Nas palavras do autor:

Everything Bad is a pure work of persuasion, an old-fashioned polemic. It's shorter than the others, and barely has any chapters, and I'm not really introducing the reader to outside experts as the last two have. It's just me trying to marshal all the evidence I can to persuade the reader of a single long-term trend: that popular culture on average has been steadily growing more complex and cognitively challenging over the past thirty years.
