First Impressions

This week's competition, in which you have to identify a book from its opening sentence, comes from a Canadian cultural critic:

"The medium, or process, of our time - electric technology - is reshaping and restructuring patterns of social interdependence and every aspect of our personal life."

The winner receives a Blackwell's £25 voucher and
the closing date is April 17.
