Written in 2016, does The Revenge of Analog hold up four years later? No.
Then, as now, this book does not answer why humans continue to choose analog tools in a world that sees constant digital advances. There is no cohesive arc to the text building to a penultimate conclusion of why analog is prevailing now. The tone makes the prose awkward, snobby, and unappealing. Overall, the text does not explore why an analog technology may prevail alongside or despite digital. The lack of data to back up the introductory claims about why there is a continued prevalence of analog alongside disrupting digital technologies makes this a disappointing read.
