Book: World Without Mind

World Without Mind
The Existential Threat of Big Tech
By: Franklin Foer
Penguin Press

I read this last night and it's a book worth a serious read. I'm not going to even try to editorialize on it; I wouldn't do it justice. It's the kind of thing you just need to make your own judgement about.

It answers a lot of questions and comments I see on this board often concerning media, social networking and big tech in general.

I don't want to post under "Reading/non-fiction" alone. It's broad enough and important enough that I think it should be GD.

Forget me, don't even comment if you don't want to... but check out the book. If you don't already know this content you need to.
