Holy shit this heaven.
Only read chapter one at the moment but I like this a lot so far. Anyone else reading/read it?
I keep posting this video. It's a David Graeber talk on technology and progress. Addresses struggle in a way I imagine is different from this book, but it might make an interesting complement.
Love this book. Have a copy with lots of notes. Good to see it available
