challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Main Points - 
  • Incredibly interesting
  • Perfect pacing
  • Easily digestible
  • Thought-Provoking, positively and negatively

Firstly, I was very immersed by this book. I found myself thinking in-depthly about this book in my day to day life and spoke to people about their thoughts on points covered. It’s an easy read for anyone with any level of technological understanding because a lot of the topics are approached from a philosophical viewpoint.

I will admit even though I enjoyed the book some of the real world examples of algorithms mistakenly being viewed as infallible or human intuition being innately biased were terrifying. It showed exactly how relying on either algorithms or humans too much can result in dire consequences so finding the goldilocks zone where they can work in harmony is imperative.
