aygtets 's review for:

5.0

A book that gathers the evidence of technology inching society ever closer to utopia only being held back by the politics. Pairs well with Utopia for Realists- Rutger Bregman.

Bastani gives real world examples of modern technologies that mirror historical examples of technologies that changed society that he calls Disruptions. Technological advancement in computation and robotics is reaching a point where we're close to the biggest disruption yet, and our politics have to catch up.

The scary words 'Communism' and 'Manifesto' are in the title, so you can ignore the negative ratings by people that obviously haven't actually read the book.
