The Revenge of Analog: Real Things and Why They Matter Audiobook (Free)

A #1 Washington Post bestseller

Among Michiko Kakutani’s (New York Times) top ten books of 2016

A funny thing occurred on the path to the digital utopia. We’ve started to fall back love with the very analog goods and suggestions the tech gurus insisted that we no longer required. Businesses that once appeared outdated, from film picture taking to brick-and-mortar retail, are actually springing with new lease of life. Notebooks, records, and stationery have grown to be cool once again. Behold the Revenge of Analog.

David Sax about The Revenge of Analog: True Things and just why They Matter has uncovered story following story of entrepreneurs, small business owners, and even big corporations who’ve discovered a market offering not apps or virtual solutions but actual, tangible things. As e-books are supposedly remaking reading, self-employed bookstores have sprouted up across the country. As music allegedly migrates to the cloud, vinyl fabric record sales have grown a lot more than ten occasions over the past decade. Actually the offices of technology giants like Google and Facebook progressively rely on pencil and paper to drive their brightest suggestions.

Sax’s function reveals a deep truth about how exactly humans store, interact, as well as think. Blending psychology and observant wit with first-rate reportage, Sax shows the limited appeal of the purely digital life–and the solid future of the real world outside it.
