I've now read the book, so could come back without fear of spoilers.
I do think everybody should read this book, and I think you have picked out 10 excellent reasons why.
The other things that stood out to me is how everything just gets worse as the book progresses, and also that it feels like it really gives so much insight into how everything is changing so quickly right now.
This is a really great review. I love your writing style. It's better than anything in print. Great work! Thank you, Lexi!
I recently heard a British host say, "everyone loves a top 10." The show was ten years old, but that's still true today. Who doesn't love a Top 10 of the lowest schemes driven by the greed of one of the richest people in the World?
And just when you thought you had heard it all about the greedy, treachous tech bros with no regard for young girls' lives... out comes this bombshell.
Im noticing a pattern that the top richest people is the world are also the lowest bottom feeders in the world. I wonder if they are sociopaths with no moral compass and ethics, and noregard for life?
As bad as this is, I know it's worse than what the author wrote. Targeted young girls who deleted selfies as vulnerable shows that they have no ethics and only care about monetizing people's privacy. I can assure you that Fb is even worse than this. Trust me. When I realized how evil Facebook is, I stopped using it.
I find it hilarious that some people are worried and afraid about China violating Americans' privacy with tick tock. LOL. Could Fb, Google, eBay and some car makers be any worse with our data? No! Domestic companies, not Tick Tock, are the clear and present danger.
Domestic tech companies that collect, manipulate and sell our data must be regulated and held accountable.
I'm glad the author came out and told the truth about Fb's evil schemes. It's about time.
Well done as always Lexi. I recently read “The Death of Truth” by Steven Brill. If you haven’t read that yet, it’s well worth your time. One of the many eye opening things in the book was when Steven and his partners were developing his company (News Guard), they were in early, serious talks with Facebook, twitter and other social media players to use their service to help combat disinformation on their sites. Long story short, when it came time to start implementing the system, all of the social media companies essentially ghosted them. They were not interested in combatting misinformation. It goes against their engagement business model.
I feel this book should be essential reading for all.
Very nice. I hope you enjoy it! Well, enjoy probably isn’t the right word considering it’s about some of our many existential crisis’, but you know what I mean. 😂

Apologies, but I had to scroll straight to the bottom of this post without reading a word.
Though only because I've got it sat waiting to be read and I don't want spoilers!
But thank you for bringing it to people's attention. I'm fairly sure by the time I'm done I'll be pitching it as a universal must read.
