Summary: A recent print review of Lauren Oyler’s book went viral online, highlighting the unique appeal of physical media. The author, Sarah M. Chappell, shares her growing love for print publications, believing they offer a more engaging experience than digital formats. She argues that print media encourages us to slow down, connect with others, and appreciate the tactile nature of reading.
Forces us to spend money on our media or talk to other people in order to get them to give us their media instead of trading our time and attention for our media.
Forces us to engage with a physical object.
Can give us a little paper cut that reminds us that we’re alive.
Helps our eyes hurt less.
Maybe sends us a little tote bag.
Throws parties when no one else will.
Helps us look cool on the subway, which in turn will…
Helps us know who we want to hit on/helps us be hit on by the right people. (View Highlight)
