The Age of Earthquakes: A Guide to the Extreme Present Review: astute & awake - As an artist, anything that breaks the confinement of an old idea is a must. The words are often more pictorial in this book. It feels like a nice updated treatment of the “medium is the massage” with a shrewd look at our disintegrated past & the ever-evolving future. It tells the story of our human experience in the present and future by poking a bit of fun at our new digitally enslaved selves, without being too righteous, which was a welcome relief. An easy half hour read, but a definite must for lovers of the book. I loved that despite these three incredibly fertile & intelligentsia-ranked authors, you wanted to just sit & have a beer with them- and talk about anything other than the internet. Review: Cell phones and Polar Ice caps - How accurate that we use substances expecting the substances to tell us who we are. Yet substances only alleviate the symptoms of an inability to know who we are. Mental health issues dramatically rise amongst the the young as their living memory is void of experience with the increase of screen time when no memory can be created. Perhaps that is what addiction is: when one gives up searching for who they are. Perhaps the inability to know who we are is reflective of the technological age. Every time I see a cell phone I think about the polar ice caps melting. Then Nepal happened.... ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0399173862 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,011,781 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,490 in Internet & Telecommunications #2,981 in Popular Culture in Social Sciences #6,300 in Sociology Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (139) | | Dimensions | 4.41 x 0.59 x 7.13 inches | | ISBN-10 | 9780399173868 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0399173868 | | Item Weight | 7.3 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 257 pages | | Publication date | March 3, 2015 | | Publisher | Penguin Publishing Group | ## Images ![The Age of Earthquakes: A Guide to the Extreme Present - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hgzQgof1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ astute & awake *by K***Y on April 1, 2021* As an artist, anything that breaks the confinement of an old idea is a must.
