Who Owns the Future? by Jaron Lanier

3.0

This book is thought provoking and well written, but is a long read despite page count. A good read for fans of dsytopias or technology, Lanier presents a simple concept (we should move to a humanistic economy) and explains it in detail over the course of the book. The concept of Siren Servers should be more mainstream and he does an excellent job of providing a basic understanding of the history of programming, and some of the upcoming problems we will face.
