  It's a short, quick read. It's honestly shocking it could be written in 1909. True imagination. I think a nice balancing title [equally short] would be Marc Steigler's Gentle Seduction[0] to which I was first introduced in a "Socrates Cafe" philosophical discussion on technological progression and its attendant erosion of magic and wonder.
