I wanted to read this collection of essays by Flusser during the holidays. Steve had sent me a link to an interview with Flusser in which he described the "magic" of linear writing and subsequent technologies, and I wanted to read more. I very quickly bootlegged this book by printing the PDF on the last day school was open for the year. In my haste, however, I trimmed the bottom edge a bit too close. It's still fine (at least the page numbers weren't cut off), but I wish I hadn't been in such a rush. The cover was made quickly at the photocopier as well, a no-frills effort.
