In the book The age of Earthquakes i noticed that the book had no real structure. The pages were all
slightly different as well as the text and whether they included a picture or not. The book is easy to
read but also structured in a way to make you really focus and read it. The pages look as if they were
created to slow you down, yet some are very brief. This book is creative with a powerful message
of what times were like before the internet and the way that society is changing each and everyday,
and how powerful technology can be. I found it very easy to stay interested in the book as the book
changed in format so you really had to pay attention. This is also something that bothered me. I am
or at least try to be a structured person and the book caught me off guard as it was constantly
changing, even though this made sense as the world is constantly changing and this is a present idea
throughout the book. It also bothered me how the book is talking about the modern times yet the
pages are in all black and white. I am curious as to what generation the book is directed towards?
Why the reference to memory but only briefly if it is so important? Why compare a person to an app?
What is to be done about the message of how the world is always changing with technology and the
internet? What is the purpose of the book being set up like a phone or computer?

I thought that the book was relatively interesting with its unique format, but I still thought it was pretty dull. The author may have made the book the way they did to add interest, but honestly I didn't think the interesting format was enough to keep me interested in the confusing and pointless thoughts that made up the actual text of the book.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your pastiche, that doing nothing is harder than doing everything in today's society. Due to a reliance on media, we rely on it to counter boredom.
