If you are concerned about the way in which culture is being shaped by technology (and you should be), this book goes deep into the causes and explains how big tech is corrupting open culture in order to make a few billion bucks.
A great look at how big tech companies create monopolies. What I particularly liked was how it ends the book with some how by discussing how these monopolies can be undone.
Very good state-of-the-world in a variety of fields. Timely. Funny. Amusing marketing (only releasing the chapter outlining the sins of Spotify as an audiobook on Spotify; only the chapter on Amazon via Kindle).
