520    "The acclaimed editor of The New York Times Book Review 
       takes readers on a nostalgic tour of the pre-Internet age,
       offering powerful insights into both the profound and the 
       seemingly trivial things we've lost. Remember all those 
       ingrained habits, cherished ideas, beloved objects, and 
       stubborn preferences from the pre-Internet age? They're 
       gone. To some of those things we can say good riddance. 
       But many we miss terribly. Whatever our emotional response
       to this departed realm, we are faced with the fact that 
       nearly every aspect of modern life now takes place in 
       filtered, isolated corners of cyberspace-a space that has 
       slowly subsumed our physical habitats, replacing or 
       transforming the office, our local library, a favorite bar,
       the movie theater, and the coffee shop where people met 
       one another's gaze from across the room. Even as we've 
       gained the ability to gather without leaving our house, 
       many of the fundamentally human experiences that have 
       sustained us have disappeared. In one hundred glimpses of 
       that pre-Internet world, Pamela Paul, editor of The New 
       York Times Book Review, presents a captivating record, 
       enlivened with illustrations, of the world before 
       cyberspace-from voicemails to blind dates to punctuation 
       to civility. There are the small losses: postcards, the 
       blessings of an adolescence largely spared of 
       documentation, the Rolodex, and the genuine surprises at 
       high school reunions. But there are larger repercussions, 
       too: weaker memories, the inability to entertain oneself, 
       and the utter demolition of privacy. 100 Things We've Lost
       to the Internet is at once an evocative swan song for a 
       disappearing era and, perhaps, a guide to reclaiming just 
       a little bit more of the world IRL"--|cProvided by
