Sure -- he is the author of The Future Does Not Compute: Transcending
the Machines in Our Midst. It's published by the technical publishers
O'Reilly & Associates, but it is a skeptical look at computing, along
the lines of Cliff Stoll's Silicon Snake Oil.

Talbott works as an editor for O'Reilly, and acknowledges the paradoxes
he deals with each day; he also distributes a weekly newletter online,
under the title Netfuture.
