Monster: A Tough Love Letter On Taming the Machines that Rule our Jobs, Lives, and Future


You might be up to date with the way technology is advancing. You might have heard of th rise of FANG and experiments like Neuralink. But have you looked at how it has become some one else's job to keep us hooked to our social media devices.
The authors in this book, do that for you. A look at the events, especially how the time it takes for a new technology has gone down. There are comparisions of current overwhelming changes and other decades.
You get a sense of the Moster through the Capital, Psychology and Society lenses.
Some columnists have tried to not use the ubiquitous sites cashing on your activity data, to plug away from the always-on world. Some have researched how this constant being on is changing our brains, its effects on our anxiety.
