He throws in a weird anti-trans statement in one of the last chapters like whyyy?
I found the initial chapters that were dedicated to each of The Four interesting. I found it hard to focus on the subsequent chapters where I found the writing a little too unfocused. I’m generally a big fan of Galloway’s and really enjoy listening to him on podcasts. I’m therefore a little disappointed that this book fell a little flat for me.
Long and dense read. Fascinating statistics and insight, but often too rant-y and unorganized for my taste.

Too much b.s. outdated pop evo psych. Hard to get through all that to learn about the actual companies.
Overall really interesting and well-structured summary of the big 4. However, the author's clear bias against big tech makes him less reliable as a narrator and his weird references to sex throughout the book seem out of place.
I read it in a hurry, partly skimmed it. Definitely some interesting insights and I’m glad the book closed with a call to break up the Big 4. Before that it kind of oscillated between admiring their business savvy and ruthlessness and jumped around without a lot of coherence. Still, I understand things a bit better after reading it.
I don’t even know where to begin with this book. There seemed to be a consistent preoccupation with sex appeal and sensational language. Throughout the book I found it to be offputting and detracted from whatever message he was trying to convey to the reader. I don’t necessarily disagree with his premise about the four horsemen and the role they play in our current society. However, there was rarely a coherent logic behind any of his critiques or opinions.
A summation of his “professional advice” was this quote: “my lack of balance as a young professional cost me my hair, my marriage, and arguably my twenties. It was worth it”
Uh no thanks... I’ll pass.
