while most of this book was anecdotal and a bit preachy at moments, the concept of 'techno-shabbat' is something i really want to consider adapting moving into 2020. and say to him: Calm down and be quiet. Do not be afraid or disheartened over these two smoldering stubs of firewood--over the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah. And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. and ye shall begin to hear of wars, and reports of wars; see, be not troubled, for it behoveth all these to come to pass, but the end is not yet. Wet for the mainland tomorrow, with heavy and persistent rain for a time. Gales for coastal areas. Dry and bright for the Isles at first, but spells of heavy rain move in later in the afternoon.

This review is already pretty long but if you care to read more on some aspects I liked/appreciated, I've expanded on them below: Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee… Karen Hayes clashes with Tom Lennox over the ethics of suspending civil liberties for Muslim Americans.

I absolutely love the idea of this book, the reason for giving it ⭐️⭐️⭐️ however, I did not really enjoy reading it. Not my genre and thus did not keep my attention so, unfortunately, I did not finish it.. Couldn’t finish. Got a little over halfway through it. The general idea of a Tech Shabbat is wonderful and I support it, but I think this approach to discussing tech is outdated and unhelpful. How do we talk about phone usage without fear mongering? It’s certainly not by saying this, the line that made me quit: “Let’s just call everything what it is. A flip phone is a phone and a smart phone is an addiction machine.”Morris O'Brian struggles with the guilt he feels over giving Fayed a working detonator and almost relapses into alcoholism.

I don't know at what point in my life I will be able to fully implement this idea. I live away from my family & boyfriend and I want to be able to communicate with them and the sheer fact of leaving my phone on, opens me up to all the other things my phone can do for me. But until I'm in a job & place where the official tech day off is reasonable-- I will resolve to shutting my phone off more when I'm home and all the people I love are already there. Or when I go on walks with my mom or boyfriend. Or when I go to bed at night when I don't need to be anywhere the next day & leaving it off as long as possible. I appreciate a few things in this book. I like the emotion in the reading, as Shlain does the performance herself. The reading is personal, conversational, and charming. You can hear her choke up on a couple occasions, particularly when reading about her father's funeral, and that is a kind of connection I appreciate. She has some good ideas as far as her one tech free day per week premise is concerned, but nothing I haven't really heard before. Let’s evolve how we think, live and work. We have to start viewing rest as strength, not a weakness, and reward people for taking care of their bodies and minds, as well as creating infrastructures that support this across socioeconomic strata.” And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. My father, who was found of quoting Sophocles, used to say,'Nothing vast enters the life of mortals without a curse.' Digital technology may be new, but massive cultural change isn't, and our role as parents stays the same: to do our best to guide our children through a shifting world." p 114

That said, I did not like the writing at all. It seemed like it was all over the place and to be honest in my opinion the author came off sounding very pretentious and self absorbed. The whole time I was reading it I felt like she was trying to convince both me and herself why every decision she makes is the better one or the right one; like she was so much more enlightened than me. It was less about facts and more about this is what I do and why it is so great. I know she is writing a book about her journey but the I, I, I just really started to get to me.
