DESCRIPTION:discussing his new book\n\nThe Revenge of the Analog: Real Things and Why 
 They Matter\n\nfrom Public Affairs Books\n\nBy now, we all know the 
 mythology of the digital revolution: it improved efficiency, eliminated 
 waste, and fostered a boom in innovation. But as business reporter David 
 Sax shows in this clear-sighted, entertaining book, not all innovations are 
 written in source code. In fact, businesses that once looked outdated are 
 now springing with new life. Behold the Revenge of Analog.\n\nSax has found 
 story after story of entrepreneurs, small business owners, and even big 
 corporations who've found a market selling not apps but real, tangible 
 things. As e-books are supposedly remaking reading, independent bookstores 
 have sprouted up across the country. As music supposedly migrates to the 
 cloud, vinyl record sales have grown more than ten times over the past 
 decade, generating more than half a billion dollars in 2015 alone. Even the 
 offices of Silicon Valley icons like Google and Facebook increasingly rely 
 on analog technologies like pen and paper for their business.\n\nSax's work 
 reveals not just an underreported trend in business, but a more fundamental 
 truth about how humans shop, interact, and even think. Blending psychology 
 and observant wit with old-fashioned reportage, Sax shows that humans need 
 to work, sell, and live in the real world—not on a screen.\n\nDavid Sax 
 is a journalist specializing in business and culture. His writing appears 
 regularly in Bloomberg Businessweek and The New Yorker's Currency blog. He 
 is the author of two books, including The Tastemakers:A Celebrity Rice 
 Farmer, a Food Truck Lobbyist, and Other Innovators Putting Food Trends on 
 Your Plate, and Save the Deli: In Search of Perfect Pastrami, Crusty Rye, 
 and the Heart of Jewish Delicatessen, which won a James Beard Award for 
 Writing and Literature. He lives in Toronto.\n\n\n
