Slight tangent but somewhat related. The amount of damage mobile phones and the tech industry have done on the human mind has been extremely understated. These hits of dopamine aren’t free. There’s a massive cost. Loss of privacy aside, the next battle has to be addressing the addiction of these platforms/devices and what it means for humans going forward.
This was the underlying implication of my post. Reading a book is in no way similar to the way we consume media/information today.
It's a great book, mostly about John Carmack and the guys at ID!
