“Surviving the Twenty-First Century offers a mind and sensibility doing its best work. Engaged, non-doctrinaire, well-read, independent-minded, pressurized toward the good and serious questions, Eaton shows us that in an age of media distraction and academic specialization a thinking person can still make a path. His freelance ruminations are provocative–they invite the reader into the game.” — Sven Birkerts, author of The Gutenberg Elegies: The Fate of Reading in an Electronic Age.
