New Yorker writer Ken Auletta appears on C-SPAN's "Q&A" program this weekend to discuss his new book Googled: The End of the World as We Know It.

In the 3-minute excerpt below, Auletta says, "One of the things I take away from this two-and-a-half-year visit to another planet, including visiting back with traditional media companies, is that I am harsher on the traditional media companies than I am on Google."

"Another planet?" Hmmm... As a Bay Area native and technology veteran, watching two 60+ East Coasters talk about Silicon Valley as "another planet" gives us new insight into what it must have been like to be one of Margaret Mead's subjects.

(Per C-SPAN, the show airs on Sunday, November 1, at 8pm ET and 11pm ET, and Monday, November 2 at 6am ET. Check your local listings and all that.)
