More about the book
From back cover:"In this work Larry Gonick analyzes the ambiguous relationship between LANGUAGE and IMAGES, where concrete fact alternates with the intangible and unknown, a relationship which is the very essence of communication.Among the topics he deals with are the impossibility of non-communication, the paradox of the corporate image, the essential role played by emotions, the "user friendly" myth and the perpetual inflation of language.The message to Neobabelonians is clear: we urgently need a better understanding of why we so often fail to understand each other."
