A very insightful look into modern media trends

I found this book to contain many interesting points about how growing technology is effecting how we eat, see and look. The layout was interesting. Every two pages or so started a new sub-topic under which a new idea was brought up and discussed which were in the forms of a short essey, all of which were reinforced with references and/or quotations. Christopher Dewdney incorperated his immence ability to write poetry in smoothly with his essays. This is not to say that he stuck a poem in every paragraph; however, he managed to express his feelings about the subject without sacrificing the integrity of the fact that it IS an essay. To close I must say that this is a beautifully written book full of interesting information and insites.
