Very important book, even more pertinent now in 2023
Published by Keegan Oh Yeah , 1 year ago
Foer does a great job of painting the big picture of Apple, Google, Amazon, and Facebook and their worrying attitudes towards individuals and society as a whole, while also diving into the details. He warns of things that are currently unfolding. Cuts through all the noise and talks about what is really happening behind the scenes of these big tech companies and their data harvesting operations all the way to their development of AI. A very important book.
