Is there a new geek anti-intellectualism?
Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Doren include him in the canon in
How To Read a Book

Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Doren were, by the way, strong supporters of the reader conversing, even arguing, with the author. I don't the Sanger is on the same page with them, and I don't believe they would agree with his essay.
