Staff Recommendation - New Yorker Book of Technology Cartoons

The New Yorker Book of Technology Cartoons
selected by the editors of The New Yorker [741.5 New]

Looking for a chuckle or a wry grin, on the theme of modern technology? Look no further than this collection of 110 single-panel cartoons that originally appeared in the New Yorker magazine. In all, 45 artists are represented, including such New Yorker stallwarts as Charles Barsotti, John Caldwell, Edward Koren, Robert Mankoff, Mick Stevens and Gahan Wilson, all riffing on the foibles of today's (and tomorrow's) household and business technology. Tired of your computer? Fed up with your cellphone? Confused by your DVR? Give this collection a chance and you'll be smiling soon!
