Not that good... but still glad I read it submitted by jibkidder on June 23, 2022, 11:40pm I'm a sucker for any book that is basically a long magazine article about how technology is ruining one particular thing or another. This one had a somewhat annoying style, covered a bunch of stuff I didn't know about and was glad to learn, and overlapped with the TV docs I'd seen about the Fyre fest already. Everything that makes money at this point is some kind of scam.
