This novella fell from out of the sky while I was looking for some other book on Amazon.

It's not uninteresting, but it's not totally gripping either.

Matt is 22% done with Big Data: A Revolution That Will Transform How We Live, Work and Think

"E-book readers, for example, capture massive amounts of data on the literary preferences and habits of the people who use them: how long they take to read a page or section, where they read, if they turn the page with barely a skim or close the book forever. The devices record each time users underline a passage or take notes in the margins."

Big Data is fascinating, like a T-Rex. But unlike a T-Rex it's not extinct and actually poses a danger.

Funny. I was playing a game of FreeCell before my reading session today, and one of the bad guys (supposedly) played it too. Game #14712 took him "most of the day" while I cracked it in two minutes.

"Ich finde, das Eis schmeckt in der Beantragung eines Wohnungsberechtigungsscheines am besten." Man könnte also auch von einer Wohnungsberechtigungsscheinbeantragung sprechen.

Die Totentanz-Zeichung von Ernst Barlach, 1924, inspiriert von der Ballade von Goethe taucht auf in diesem Buch und spielt danach wahrscheinlich keine Rolle mehr. Trotzdem gut.

Matt is on page 32 of 48 of On Computer Simulated Universes

"We never think of a computer program [...] as having free will." That's probably true, but when I think about some programs I have written I sometimes doubt this theses.
