A review by rickycatto
Future Crimes by Marc Goodman
4.0
At first I thought about this amazing quote I heard at a conference: "don't ever raise fear if you don't have somewhere to channel it". It seemed like a long doomsayer rant. The points he raises are somewhat based in speculation but he seems to have a very rich wealth of understanding of the history.
By the end of the book though, he gives an attainable and thorough call to action.
This book is terrifying and though provoking. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone sensitive - there are truly awful people on this earth and all the amazing tech we make to help good people can be used for evil. If, however, you have a strong stomach and can deal with a lot of tech talk then this might inspire you to help us all prepare for the future.
