This book has excellent chapters along with a lot of rather mediocre material. In spite of David Sax's best intentions, many of his chapters on analog revivals read (ironically) a little like an online 'listacle' as in "Ten Analog Technologies That Made a Surprising Comeback." They report on these comebacks without providing much insight. But he makes up for it with some thoughtful and informative chapters, particularly Chapter 6, "The Revenge of Retail;" Chapter 8 which deals with technology in public schools; and the epilogue.
