The Future Is Analog: How to Create a More Human World by David Sax
1.0
The book was boring and uninspiring.
Mostly it was anecdotes of Sax's pandemic experiences. His writing about these experiences was dull and long-winded. He failed to say anything at all other than the fact that being alone and doing everything on screens during the pandemic sucked. There is absolutely nothing new here. Nothing we didn't already know.
Furthermore Sax doesn't take a hard stance on anything. And he didn't discuss the future at all. He spent most of the book reflecting on the past (pandemic) and then the present (in this case recent post-pandemic). There were a lot of arguments he could have made but didn't. I don't recall him talking about digital currency for example (correct me if I'm wrong, I did a lot of skimming.)
Overall the book fell flat of any expectations I had for it, and I wasn't really expecting that much.
