About the Lecture
We live, work, and sell in a world of real things, argues David Sax--even amidst the so-called digital age. In his new book "The Revenge of Analog: Real Things and Why They Matter," Sax explains how the return of tangible products and processes--think vinyl, Polaroids, Moleskine notebooks, brick and mortar retailers, and more--are proving best for business by giving us exactly what digital cannot: tactility, authenticity, and soul. It is a story that not only impacts what we buy and sell, but why museums and archives preserve and conserve the objects and buildings--the real things--that are central to their missions.
About the Author
A sophisticated analyst of major consumer shifts, David Sax also is the author of two other fascinating accounts of pop culture and business. His other writing appears regularly in the New York Times, Bloomberg Businessweek, the New Yorker's business blog, and the LA Times, and he is a regular feature on CBC Radio and NPR.
