We the Dead: Preserving Data at the End of the World by Brian Michael Murphy
3.0
Thanks to Netgalley and University of North Carolina Press for the ARC of this. I switched back and forth between the Audible edition that I purchased when I was reading this.
This is definitely full of information that I had no experience with, the cover and topic just sounded really intriguing. The author is, at times, very funny, which I appreciated to help break up some of the drier bits. Overall, I think if you are really interested in how data is stored and how paranoid humans are about their data storage, you will find this interesting as well. I wish the whole tone had leaned harder into funny/conversational, but I’m happy I read it and learned some new things I’d never given much thought to before.
