MIT graduate and author, Eric Brende'snew book is titled "Better OFF: Flipping the Switch on Technology." It describes the journey he and his wife have taken from the fast-paced life of high technology at MIT to a richer, more leisurely and savory existence, using their own arms, legs, and heads to perform most of the everyday tasks machines once performed for us--from washing clothes to walking to the bank or grocery store to thinking through a frugal plan of "home-economics" in a modern city.
