Review of 'World Without Mind' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

Franklin Foer writes about the idealism of tech companies and the ways in which their idealism is doing harm. Specifically he's worried about the depressed value of knowledge and the degrading impact of the Internet on journalism and writing. The book certainly makes one uneasy about big tech. Foer is very readable, although sometimes he doesn't quite make his point.
