Everything I Know about Life I Learned from PowerPoint by Russell Davies

reflective medium-paced

4.5

I loathe PowerPoint (Keynote, and the ilk) yet love the creativity and fun of putting words and pictures together. This book suits me just fine. 

It’s a light and engrossing history and philosophy of PowerPoint and the author: how it was used at GDS, how it's not a replacement for a long-form document, how it's good for diversity.

It then switches to a bag of ideas to help to make a great (or bad) presentation — which is useful, although not what I came for. But the first part alone is worth the price for me.
