The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies by Andrew McAfee, Erik Brynjolfsson

4.0

This book was a roller coaster of emotions. Starting out very encouraging about the technological advances that has been made to a sort of anger about how the advances of automation mostly benefited the already very rich in getting richer. Then it shifted to a more melancholic feeling when the overall wealth and benefits of the digital age has made all of us richer as in cheaper products, sometimes free, but not in increased salary per say. It finishes with allot of great policies, reforms and recommendations on what to do to try to steer the ship in a "better" direction. This made me feel pumped about taking action, even though I'm just as influential as a person screaming at a horror movie when a supporting actor does something moronic.
