I got all the emails recommending books, but what is the context? What started this discussion?

It is a concise (28-page) critique of PowerPoint technology. It will be of interest, I think, to anyone interested in the medium / technology, as well as to anyone interested in the power of pamphleteering. It confirmed my prejudices, but I **still** liked it. (Chatelain(e)s are people who live in caslls.)
