Fantastic book, I first read this when I was about 12 or even a bit younger (I’m in my mid 30s now) and revisited it many times over the years, in fact I still have my copy, yellowed and dog-eared though it may be. It’s always struck me as so much more than a standard teenage fiction book as many of the themes and concepts touched on are quite adult and political in nature, I get the feeling that these days it would have to be quite sanitised and dumbed down for that age group. Great stuff!

Very interesting post. I think while it is normal and exciting to see children adapt at a young age to the technologies we consider new I find that the Waldorf and other schools of thought offer compelling reasons to restrict children’s access to technology at least up to a certain age. Kids need to have that physical experience of getting their fingers dirty in finger paint and clay, and dirt, and feel the weight and texture of toys and build things. Its not an either or but I really worry about kids who’s parents let them get immersed in the “virtual” world more than a small fraction of the time at a young age. I do think that IRL interactions are important for brain development.
