"...Should be read by anyone concerned with how governments and the news media can manipulate information that people accept as truth."--The Los Angeles Times

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book a little outdated but still relavant, December 12, 2006
By R. Lukasik "Gnome1" (philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was in a class taught by Ritchin, and we discussed this book in class. His ideas of how digital alteration would change the world were for the most part, spot on.Additionally his newer ideas on the subject were excellent. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in the subject.

2.0 out of 5 stars outdated and lacking, September 17, 1998
By A Customer
An attempt at trying to warn publishers and the public about the uncertainty of digital manipulation as related to photojouranlism, but no one raised an eyebrow towards Ritchin's shouts of the new negativeless world.
