Unexpected Item in the Bagging Area
A hilarious call-to-arms for everyone infuriated by 21st century technology, from iPhones to e-readers to self-service checkout
If you point my smart phone at the sky, its star-gazing app can supposedly identify and name planets outside of our galaxy. Extraordinary--but even more extraordinary is that it can't actually make telephone calls. Trying to get a signal on it is like searching for the Yeti--some people believe it exists but you would probably have to trek to the Himalayas to find it.
For those who yearn for the good old days before one needed a degree in computer programming just to make a phone call, this is the perfect book, rebelling against the crazes and popularity of the unfathomable trappings of the contemporary world. Technophobes who have found themselves shouting at a recorded voice on the phone, been driven crazy by the illogical pricing of train tickets, or found themselves drowning in a sea of half-remembered passwords, have found their manifesto.
