Fulfillment: Winning and Losing in One-Click America by Alec MacGillis, Stefan Alexander MacGillis
3.0

Not quite as compelling as I'd hoped (I appreciate closer-up looks at the lives of workers for these kinds of deep sociological dives), but this book was eye-opening. I knew Amazon had changed the retail landscape of our country over the last twenty years, but I was not aware of just how egregious their labor practices were, or quite the level of monopoly they've developed over the marketplace. It's a bit startling.

All that to say, if you have an Amazon Prime account, you should consider reading this.
