Why read it?

1 author picked Analog as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book from MIT Press is truly refreshing and speaks directly to my soul. It powerfully addresses how far overboard society has gone with digital fever and technology.

I deeply crave real and authentic experiences and a return to genuine personal relationships. Analog perfectly captures this desire for the "real" in the face of the current digital deluge.
