In this vital book, David Sax makes the life-affirming case for a world that is centered less around technology and more around humanity. Even as technology becomes increasingly sleek and efficient, Sax details the limitations of a wholly virtual world and shows that people are turning back to tactile and bespoke options. He uncovers story after story of entrepreneurs, artisans, and creators who run bustling, profitable businesses not by selling apps or virtual solutions, but by dealing in tangible goods and ideas: paper notebooks, vinyl records, board games, and more. For anyone who has grown weary of overnight billionaires and social media market-disruptors, The Revenge of Analog is tangible proof that craftsmanship and authenticity still matter.
