Title: A devoted champion of Civilization HAS to be read
Review: Being a person that makes a living in the world of high-tech, and having waiting in line to have Mr. Negroponte sign the book "Being Digital", when I read Mr. Birkerts "Gutenberg Elegies", it sent chills to my spine. I try to read as much as I can, but having such an eloquent explanation of WHY our life escence is what we READ, I HAVE to follow his book's advice. I have a 14 year old son that will face that tremendous challenge of the"Digital Era", so I have taken Mr. Birkerts book as a roadmap of WHY I HAVE TO ENCOURAGE reading/thinking vs. Mindless electrons, that as their physical properties, have almost no mass,and the only thing they leave is that empty feeling that "THERE HAS TO BE MORE THAN THIS". Thank you, very, very much Mr Birkerts for opening my eyes..
