2040 by Pedro Domingos is to books what Idiocracy is to movies. It is as satirical warning of a possible dystopian future. It is a bit over the top but in a comedic yet sobering way. Although I laughed a lot when I was reading it, I found myself thinking that this book isn't far from where we are, especially with ideas such as the Department of Imaginary Injustices because that would be if X (Twitter) became a branch of government. I really enjoyed this book and will ever stop recommending it.
Thanks to NetGalley and Book Baby for the advanced copy. The opinions are my own.
