Description
On Browsing is an elegy for physical media, a polemic in defense of perusing the world in person. Written during the pandemic, when the world was confined to screens, these essays chronicle what we've lost through online shopping and streaming.
The author argues that the practice of browsing physical shelves, combing CD bins, and losing oneself in bookstores is a dying art. In this elegy, Jason Guriel pays tribute to the joy of discovery that comes from exploring the world in person.
