A review by scf2ke
The Age of Earthquakes: A Guide to the Extreme Present by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Shumon Basar, Douglas Coupland

2.0

This is the dumbest "book" in the world. It's like looking at banksy condensed into a book about the internet and the "future"...ooOOOOoohh!!! To be frank I was already concerned while flipping through the pages and seeing quotes like "I'm seven IPHONES old" and "photographing your salad turns it into a ghost". DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because it is clearly written by people who don't understand anything about how the future relates to the internet. Pretty much reads like some poorly-constructed, out of touch phrases about the potential harms of using the internet and how it can and WILL cause to your BRAIN to turn to SLIME!!!!!! Only reason I gave it two stars is because I liked the design.
