Why Analog is Thriving in the Digital Age

The Leonard Lopate Show | Nov 18, 2016

There’s no question that we’re living in a digital age, but in the The Revenge of the Analog: Real Things and Why They Matter, author David Sax tells the stories of entrepreneurs and businesses that have found a market selling “vintage” items like paper notebooks, records and stationery. Through his reporting, Sax argues that renewed interest these items shows the limited appeal of the purely digital life.

Event: David Sax will be in conversation with AJ Jacobs at Book Culture (450 Columbus Avenue) on Monday, November 21 at 7 p.m.
