A pretty heavy read. I think it’s a good narrative on how what we see online really affects our behaviour in real life, hence we see how some of the characters change throughout the course of the book. It’s a short read - read it in a hour and a half. I would have liked a bit more exploration on the topic personally - because it’s so short I don’t think it’s as in depth as it could have been, but still a decent read.

Deeply disturbing and thought provoking book about work culture and the dangers of our long term exposure and addiction to the internet, especially as it pertains to radicalization and conspiracy thought.  I could easily see this as a Black Mirror episode!

Better than I expected. A short punchy read, even if less about content moderation ans more about the effects of it on people. Super dark and interesting.

I think this would make a good A24 film.

Disturbing, realistic, almost anticlimactic. A good commentary on how exposure to bad/uncomfortable/hateful things can desensitize, inundate, and indoctrinate us.
