"Delete" is buzzing!

I+I Centre director, Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, is currently on a tour discussing his new book "Delete - The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age." The book attracts a lot of attention and thoughtful responses from scholars and bloggers interested in information and its governance.

The Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard has hosted Viktor's talk about "Delete" earlier this month. David Weinberger, a co-author of "The Cluetrain Manifesto", live-blogged from the event and followed up with an interview on Radio Berkman. Jessica Palmer, who blogs at Science Blogs, also wrote about the talk, highly recommending to attend it in other locations.

Following Viktor's talk at NYU, David Lazer, the director of the Program on Network Governance at Harvard, wrote a very positive response highlighting the "transition from biological forgetting to digital remembering" as the main issue addressed in the book. Marcia Stepanek of poptech.org, also published an interview with Viktor, further probing him on questions of remembering how to forget. Finally, the Princeton University Press posted a conversation Viktor had with Brian Lehrer of WNYC and the Sirius XM's OutQ station ran another interview about "Delete" on the Michelangelo Signorile Show.
