panWhat a deception! This essay about how technology is shaping and revolutionizing the world is so superficial... It's really a shame, because it could have been soooo interesting. I found it also too positive, not stating the obvious dangers of technology, and of its effects on the world.
I read this three times and then wrote it in my joural so I could keep it forever! I love that words give me the feels...
pickFinished it today. I agree with lots of things he's saying about schools here in Germany. Basically it's a mess. But I still feel like he focused too much on the higher education part and forgot that we need carpenters, electricians, glaziers, etc.
All in all though I agree that we need a change and the schools he envisioned sound fun!
I have, of course, read dozens of quotes and selections from Walden because one can't avoid them, and I even started the thing a few times, but I can't quite get past his self-importance and his neckbeard. Still, I think I ought to read the whole thing someday.

pickI'd have to really study this, preferably in a class or with an advisor to get everything out of it. That said, this philosophy has already infiltrated my reasoning and will affect the way I consider being, essence, and categorization in the near future.

1) Yes. I start other books, often ones that I then procrastinate on by starting yet more books. Visit Litsy. 🙈🙈🙈
2) At 3 ch/30 pp/30% if they are very boring/off-putting. When the urge to whack the author/characters over the head with the hardcover edition (in large print) gets too strong. When the inaccuracies outshine the plot/characters; founding member of the #HistoricalFictionInaccuracyAnnoyanceSupportGroup
pickAs I said on Goodreads, don‘t be put off by reviewers who complain that this book “jumps around.” Craig isn‘t writing some high level Wiki, he‘s demonstrating connections between disparate topics and teaching the reader how to navigate an enormous, complex subject in very few pages. 💡💡💡💡💡(Image is from the book‘s own last page.
Also, have I mentioned how much I love The Good Place? 😍😍😍
I know all you Littens will be envying my reading selections today. 😏😝
