Instant communication, online shopping, virtual everything. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It didn't take long to realize how awful it was to live in this promised future. We craved real experiences, relationships, and spaces and got back to real life as quickly and often as we could. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In chapters exploring work, school, religion, and more, this book asks pointed questions: Is our future inevitably digital? Can we reject the downsides of digital technology without rejecting change? Can we innovate not for the sake of productivity but for the good of our social and cultural lives? Can we build a future that serves us as humans, first and foremost? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is a manifesto for a different kind of change. We can spend our creativity and money on building new gadgets--or we can spend them on new ways to be together and experience the world, to bake bread, and climb mountains. All we need is the clarity to choose which future we want.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Sax\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1541701550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541701557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PublicAffairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.20w x 1.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/03\/2022","brand":"David Sax","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44057596756223,"sku":"9781541701557","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a317265-0f91-4800-b7b5-3c35fe9b6858.jpg?v=1685047883","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-future-is-analog-david-sax-9781541701557","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
