To Save Everything, Click Here: The Folly of Technological Solutionism by Evgeny Morozov
1.0
Ugh. I picked up this book hoping to read about the folly of technological solutionism - what I got was a snide treatise on the follies of technological solutionists.
The book scarcely goes a page without calling out a particular name in the current app-y noosphere, and essentially reads like the memoir of a grumpy old man telling kids why they're all dumb.
If you follow the cults of personality surrounding individuals in the Silicon Valley elite, this book will trample on your heroes and tell you why they're probably wrong - and does so quite compellingly. If, like me, you aren't in Silicon Valley, nor do you worship Seth Godin, you will find this book completely irrelevant, and inappropriately titled, to boot.
