...haven't they? In Gordon's view, "what keeps computers from being truly productive is that these damn human beings keep getting in the way." Many jobs cannot be fully automated: "Planes will always need two pilots and trucks a driver." Computers cannot replace beauticians, gardeners or restaurant chefs. Moreover, there is the law of diminishing returns: the latest PCs do not represent as great an advance over earlier computers as the first did over typewriters, or as typewriters did over writing by hand.

Costello entirely rises to the challenge of matching the Bacharach melodies with poignant musings on heartbreak, love stories laced with the chill of specific, damning truth. On the outstanding "This House is Empty Now," a moving portrait of a man who cannot make sense of the unreliable memories that inscribe his vacant home, Bacharach and Costello write: "Do you recognize the face fixed in that fine silver frame?/Were you really so unhappy then?
