The One Device: The Secret History of the iPhone by Brian Merchant

3.0

While I enjoyed the content of this book, I disliked the tone. It would inspire awe at the success, the innovation, the addictiveness, or whatever, of the iPhone, but then it would guilt trip you about the environmental and social repercussions of the whole thing. This is a complicated issue for our society to deal with, but rather than explore it in a way that helped the reader take action or make a change, it was just confusing. But I did learn a lot.
