Filterworld makes me want to dream about Internet 1.0. This is very timely.

One of the best books I've read on data, reminiscent of Cory Doctorow's 2014 book Information Doesn't Want To Be Free.

Very interesting read. Left me a mix of inspired and despair. The urge to create for creation grew the more I listened.

Long. Winded.

Ironic for someone who also wrote a book on minimalism.

This book is incredibly well-researched and developed, but could have been 33% condensed and achieved the same goal.
