You Are Not a Gadget by Jaron Lanier

4.0

Very thought-provoking read. The author has some very creative ideas about the music industry and points out some definite flaws in the current model (in both music and software). The later chapters are a different subject, and are likely expanded articles, but are perhaps the most fascinating part. The ideas on language, metaphor and communication call for further study - this latter section would be better as the start of a larger book.

Overall, interesting material presented in a scattered fashion.
