Tools and Weapons: The Promise and the Peril of the Digital Age by Carol Ann Browne, Brad Smith
5.0
Democracy, privacy, cybersecurity, rural broadband, government regulation of tech and more – this book is so much more than just “will AI-infused robots take over the world.”
It’s a quick, easy read that breaks down these complex issues in a comprehensible manner with really interesting connections to lessons from history, providing fascinating insight and perspective on topics we should all be considering.
Living in a rural community, I found the rural broadband issues, including government reporting, solutions, and MSFT's commitment especially fascinating. I have a new respect for my REA and the part it played this country’s history.
Brad Smith’s position and history in the industry, including his musings and lessons learned from when Microsoft was on the wrong side of history, and the other tech giants stance on important issues, provide such an interesting perspective. As a bibliophile, I am very stingy with 5-star ratings. This book deserves it.
