Pickpick

This is heavy and academic. Considering how dependent on online *everything* I‘ve been this year, it also freaked me out thoroughly. It‘s 700 pages, or 24 hours of audio. Or you can watch The Social Dilemma on Netflix, hear her speak, and get the basic message in two hours. Still, I‘m glad I read it even though it‘s scary and made me mad.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Sounds like another good one that will be tough to read... 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I honestly think I only registered about half of what she was trying to say. It‘s just not narrative nonfiction—it could‘ve used about a dozen more stories about real people at the companies and in the real world. But she‘s an academic, so ... it‘s obviously not her style. 3y

Mehso-so

A true life personal narrative about two innocent civilians who got caught up in the biggest cyber security scandal to ever rock the world. While really fascinating & at times nail-biting this felt like capitalizing on their fleeting 15 seconds of fame. This would make for a fantastic podcast or an article for Vanity Fair, but as a full bodied story their involvement was not filler for an entire book. Skip this one.
