Author Michael Chorost's new 2011 book is titled "World Wide Mind: the Coming Integration of Humanity, Machines, and the Internet". (Probably) in somewhat sensationalistic language, Mr. Chorost writes about the merger of real people's lives with the virtual lives and their Internet interactions with more and more useful machines in their lives that are or will be connected to the Internet.
