It offers ideas and an understanding essential to the "electric age." The ideas presented in this book seem to forecast the information age and even the advent of the Internet. The text is combined with multiple black and white images and includes many relevant quotations in the margins from James Joyce's "Finnagan's Wake." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
