“However, what I know well from working with sound and music is that noise is as communicative as signal.”
Damon Krukowski, The New Analog: Listening and Reconnecting in a Digital World

“THANK YOU FOR READING this analog book. It requires no additional hardware, uses no power, and is 100 percent recyclable. You will find that it is possible to read, or not read, any of this book’s pages in any sequence. While its pages have been numbered sequentially to assist in navigation, there is no reason to consult these numbers if you do not wish. Should you like to highlight a passage, you will find that you can mark the page with most any implement at hand—even a fingernail will do. The paper of this book is also soft enough to be folded, torn, even shredded if that gives you satisfaction, without special tools.”
Damon Krukowski, The New Analog: Listening and Reconnecting in a Digital World

“Analog refers to a continuous stream of information, whereas digital is discontinuous. This distinction predates electronics, let alone integrated circuits. Any division of information into discrete steps is a digital process: from counting on our fingers, to calculating using an abacus, to (at least in some musicians’ view) plotting notes on a staff of music.2 Yet our senses remain resolutely analog. When we hear numbers counted aloud, see the beads of an abacus, or feel the vibration of a string, those sensations happen on a continuous scale.”
Damon Krukowski, The New Analog: Listening and Reconnecting in a Digital World
