The New School: How the Information Age Will Save… de Glenn Harlan Reynolds
Excellent, readable summary of the present bubble in higher education.

Moves along, but its sloppy. If you like his blog you'll like the book. But if you expect a book to have substance beyond personal opinion, "that feels right to me" as a way of evaluating claims, and a mish-mash of whatever topics appeal to the author, well look elsewhere.
