Review
“Hoveyda has a long history with the cinema, and this book is a breezy, pleasant account of his love affair with the medium...Readers will enjoy spending a few hours skimming through Hoyveda's musings.”–Choice
Book Description
Contrary to current opinion, Hoveyda contends that "cinema" has preceded literature and other forms of art. The development of televison, computers, and the Internet, in the view of the literary establishment, imperils books. Hoveyda examines the relationship between film, television, computers, and books and finds a hidden purpose behind all the inventions in mass communications since the creation of alphabets.
