Houve um tempo em que vivíamos em um mundo sem Internet. Sim, isso era algo perfeitamente possível. Era um lugar de descobertas reais, sem a ajuda do Google para nos dizer "a verdade". Hoje vivemos com esse "apendice" chamado smartphone que guia nossos passos (as vezes ate literalmente!).A nossa "bussola" era outraou outras: a TV, o radio, livros, revistas, gibis, jornais, o video cassete, o cinema, os games "pre historicos" onde interagiamos com humanos de verdade e no pessoas online. Tudo isso gerava historias de vida. E e isso que eu apresento nesse livro: algumas passagens onde temos tudo isso (e um pouco mais) como o fio condutor de uma epoca totalmente offline do virtual: aqui, as emoçes so encaradas de frente! Numa epoca sem a rapidez de hoje, tudo era saboreado com mais profundidade. "Fenomenos" que so o analogico com todas as suas harmonicas provocava. Nada de zeros e uns. Queremos uma antena com palha de aço para sintonizar a vida!
