“Rather than attempting to convince us of the evils of technology, Brende takes care to instead illustrate what's been lost along the way. From the natural rhythm of life to the physical satisfaction of doing 'real work', he makes the case that the time-saving devices of modern technology rarely save time and often cost much more.
Living for a year among the “Minimites”, the author highlights the social, emotional and even productive sacrifices we have made in lieu of blind 'technological progress'. A worthwhile read that makes a strong case for the benefits of a simpler life.”
