John Lanchester on Google

There's an excellent piece in the latest London Review of Books by John Lanchester on Google: The Global Id.
Lanchester. John
The Global Id
London Review of Books 2006 28(2): 3-6
It's a review (but much more than that) of David Vise's the Google Story and John Battelle's The Search
