Review

He’s preaching to the choir here, but I couldn’t get past the long, looong intro on “addiction is a thing”. Yes, it is. Yep, cocaine. Yep, lab rats pressing pleasure buttons until they die. I thought we’d get to the tech addictiveness-by-design a lot sooner. I ended up putting this down and never feeling like picking it up again.
