Description: Have you just junked your recent, instantly obsolete, computer? Are you thinking of buying your first computer? Do you find that your business and personal life have been invaded by a bewildering array of electronics - from voice and E-mail, to faxes and TVs with hundreds of channels to the wildly hyped Internet and World Wide Web? Do you suffer from info-overload? Do you sometimes think we have lost our souls in a constant quest for speed, entertainment, and convenience?

The Minutes of the Lead Pencil Club is a dynamic record of an on-going meeting of minds from as far away as Tasmania, India, and Austria and as close to home as California and New York. This collection will reveal to you what electronic madness has wrought in our lives and society. Through letters, essays, news clips, poems, cartoons, and testimonials, the members of the Lead Pencil Club suggests how you can restore mindfulness, sanity and simplicity to your life and the lives of your children.
Notes: "Letters, essays, cartoons, and commentary on how and why to live contraption-free in a computer-crazed world."--t.p.
