wow, this book is terrible.
i was recommended this book by a coworker who often advocates for breaking digital’s significant grip on our lives, so i knew which way this book would blow before i even read it. and don’t get me wrong, i agreed with many of its points. but at times, i could only ask why?
the entire thing read as a long form opinion piece in an online journal, written by a very self-important hipster. each argument (each chapter) was full of weird tangents, random political spin, and humblebrag. it was so cringe that i had to force myself to finish this because i have only allowed myself to abandon one book during this challenge and i didn’t want to waste it this early on this dumpster fire.
and remember, i AGREE with most of his points!
who let this dude write a book? did anyone edit this?
