This book is pretty Pollyanna-ish, and it says as much, but says they “don’t care.” It would’ve probably seemed cool when it came out, but just 5 (long) years later we’ve seen that computing power actually isn’t limitless, the tech humans have built is just as sexist/racist as the humans who built it, etc etc etc. It’s not a bad book, but it’s not worth reading, either.

I'm reading The Circle at the same time, and it adds a lot of context. Optimistic.
