To Save Everything, Click Here: The Folly of Technological Solutionism by Evgeny Morozov

3.0

The main thesis of this book is that the Internet-centric solutionism needs to be critically evaluated. As someone who work in tech, this particularly resonates. Initially I found the book irritatingly un-actionable; criticisms are useful, but several chapters of this without identifying a solution makes the book seem a bit whiny (yes, I also see the irony here). Morozov ultimately does get to the point: we need to evaluate the civic and moral aspect of our social solutions (rather than just introduce the "tech" as the solution itself), and I thought it was a worthy conclusion to trudge through all the cynicism.
