Loved Jaron Lanier's 'Ten Arguments For Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now' - such an entertaining read, and insights on every page. Quote from the book:
“Social media is biased, not to the Left or the Right, but downward. The relative ease of using negative emotions for the purposes of addiction and manipulation makes it relatively easier to achieve undignified results. An unfortunate combination of biology and math favors degradation of the human world. Information warfare units sway elections, hate groups recruit, and nihilists get amazing bang for the buck when they try to bring society down."
Just finished Dreams of El Dorado - A History of The American West by HW Brands. Found it very good and well written considering the extensive subject matter.
