We're very pleased that Nicholas Carr is coming to Mumsnet to discuss the ideas expounded in his new book The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to our Brains.

The book expands arguments Nicholas made in a much-discussed article in The Atlantic magazine, Is Google Making Us Stupid?

He's concerned about how the internet is affecting the way we read, think and remember. Are our brains changing in response to our online habits? And what are the implications for ourselves and our children?

Hope you can join Nicholas on Thurs 2 Sept, 1-2pm, to share your views.

And forgot to add that there are five signed copies of The Shallows up for grabs. We'll choose five names randomly from everyone who takes part in the chat.

Nicholas is here and just getting set up.

As promised we are introducing a quote facility for webchatees and Nicolas will be the first to pioneer it. All it means is that when he answers a post he can quote the question in his answer. (Don't panic we have no plans to roll out over whole site.)

Big thanks to Nicholas for answering so many questions. He's also answered some of the questions that were sent in advance of the live chat and will post these up shortly.
