review:
I suppose it's important, but the deep dive into the financial sector is really pretty dry.
I see that somebody has to be understanding and working at that level, but it was a hard slog getting through a lot of this. And for the most part the basic message was continuous throughout, and already well-known: finance capitalism sucks, is totally out of control, and needs to be reined in, and nothing has really been accomplished toward that end even in the wake of the 2008 crisis. I guess it's good to be reminded.

Mind-blowing. Jaw-dropping. Eye-opening.

If you care how the world we live in got built, this should be required reading.

review:
Definitely scathing! This book confirmed and resonated with my experience living in SF during the first web boom, and Pein’s healthily cynical take is refreshing and entertaining. I’m someone else who lived through it but didn’t drink the koolaid, and trust me, be very afraid of Silicon Valley.

Excellent, as usual. the "Dads of Tech" and piece by Astra Taylor is a highlight, as well as the one about disability.
