Review
#

Jaron Lanier’s brain is a veritable wonderland. There is no one like him. I was absolutely DELIGHTED by much of this book - especially the memoir of his childhood and adolescence. He is really an inspiration. And so funny! And so smart! It’s like his brain is made of champagne fizz. Like the very best Star Trek: Next Generation episodes.

Anyway, this book inspired me to try out virtual reality.

Also, this book took me forever to read, HAHA. I basically started it, was delighted, got consumed by chess for a couple months, got distracted by my life for the next few months, picked it up and finished it. Womp!
