The Gutenberg Elegies: The Fate of Reading in an Electronic Age by Sven Birkerts

4.0

Sometimes it's fun to read jeremiad books...In this one (written in 1995) the author debates the shelf life of books as a source of information...are they dying? or dead? His thoughts certainly made me want to simplify and rid myself of all the fancy electronic tools that make life so much easier...I say as I type this into a computer database...
