An entertaining read
Michael Gentle has succeeded in writing a book that is neither an anti-tech rant nor a call for a return to some idyllic past.
An entertaining read.

An insightful look at a slower and simpler time
An insightful look at a slower and simpler time, and a reflection on what we have gained and lost.
It raises some interesting questions on the effects of the internet on health and well-being in a digital age.

Insightful and highly enjoyable
Michael Gentle reminds us of some of the small pleasures of life, from enjoying an evening out without interruption to not having to work at home, much of which has been replaced by 24/7 connectivity.
Perhaps this insightful and highly enjoyable work will encourage us to occasionally revisit the charm of former times, albeit without forfeiting the advantages that technology now offers.
