Annotation
If computers really eliminate paperwork, why are the office recycling bins always overflowing? Why are the lines at ATMs often longer than the ones inside the bank? Anyone who has ever pondered these questions will delight in Edward Tenner's book, a perceptive, provocative, and wryly funny look at the frustrating "revenge effects" of our most vaunted technologies.
