cannot understand why this is such a big deal! maybe i should get a job at NY Times - even I can write better.
This book could be revelation to someone who lived in a cave in Afghanistan throughout the nineties (wait, even that guy knows about the internet).
I found it made the same point 25 times with copious quotes (some as long as one or two pages) and anecdotes.

lol! exactly. Skimmed about most of it. If you even remotely understand the internet you can skip 3/4 of this book.

Wow. I can't say it any better than that. Totally agree with both of the above, and it isn't even well-written. I hate it when I can tell how much the author loves himself.

Welcome back. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account.
This book could be revelation to someone who lived in a cave in Afghanistan throughout the nineties (wait, even that guy knows about the internet).
I found it made the same point 25 times with copious quotes (some as long as one or two pages) and anecdotes.
