It's hard to say that I enjoyed this book, because it is disturbing, depressing, and sad...but I loved it and enjoyed reading it so much. Irresistible was so informative, providing a great context for the world we live in and the one we're on our way to living in. I so appreciate having the curtain pulled back on behavioral addiction, especially how it relates to social media, gaming, and virtual reality. I feel like I can make better decisions for myself and kids regarding technology, preparing them for the future, as well as instilling values in them that will help them navigate a world filled with people who are more and more disconnected from themselves and each other. Overall a worthwhile read. The question for me is: what do we do now that we know how the sausage is made?
