Neat book, the author seems unhurried, maybe it's his Sonoma County lifestyle. The most thought-provoking part for me his prediction that once computers become ubiquitous (in 1977, that's a pretty good prediction) we will only be working 10 hours a week, and how we spend our leisure time will be the big crisis of life (he suggests observing cats and other animals). Little did he know that Americans in general go into conniptions if we aren't gainfully employed most of our time.
