Giles Slade, author of Made to Break: Technology and Obsolescence in America will be on CBC Radio’s BC Almanac on Tues Dec 19th at 1:30pm.
This is the best non-fiction book I read in 2006. Slade talks about everything from our obsession with small gadgets, which leads to truckloads of e-waste, to the origins of our consumerism and culture of waste.
Listen in, and if you’re inspired, call in and ask a question. An author’s greatest fear is having no one show up for the book reading or in this case no one call in.
I love this book. Here are previous posts on Made to Break
