The Revenge of Analog: Real Things and Why They Matter

Fascinating essays on the revival and survival of many analog pursuits from vinyl records and film cameras to teaching techniques and work environments. I know other people have been less enamored with this book than I was but I found it well-researched and interesting. While the topics were diverse and some of the essays were a bit long, the overall effect is realizing that tactile, in-person and singular experiences rather than ephemeral and multi-tasked are more meaningful, memorable and engaging.

In the same way that self- help books often just remind us of things we already know, The Revenge of Analog reminds us many things that, in our hearts, we already knew. but sometimes, you need cold hard statistics to confirm that knowledge.
