The Revenge of Analog: Real Things and Why They Matter by David Sax

5.0

A well written and researched book (although someone should tell him that slot machines use a random schedule, not a variable one). Sax manages to cover the topic without coming off as anti-technology or a crumudgen. As he says in the epilogue: it's about balance, and the book makes clear that there is a place for both analogue and digital technologies rather than a zero-sum with one out doing the other.
Chapter 8, which deals with technology in education, was excellent. This is clearly an issue that could be a book all on it's own, and Sax gives a good overview and presents the evidence clearly.
