Compelling and well-written. I feel like I learned a lot from Lanier, especially on the topic of Artificial Intelligence

I think the book is good so far. Little political, clearly he doesn’t like trump or Fox News. This book isn’t about trump or Fox News. That annoyed me. But I’m going to finish the book. All in all, many great points. He really knows what he is talking about. I’m down to delete my social media

This only book touches the surface as to why social media has been harmful and dangerous to our society. Critical thinking skills and the ability to effectively debate certain issues has been diminished because of social media among other things. Social media has turned us into categories, into subjects that are being studied and are stored for advertisers personal gain. We are no longer human beings with ability to think for ourselves.

What a “BUMMER.” Jaron Lanier’s intentions seem to teeter between wanting to offer philosophical glimpses into the relationship between people and social media, and wanting to push his own political views; I’m not even convinced that he knows where (or if) he’s drawing the distinction. Ten Arguments seems to be just another intelligent person ranting about interesting things but unfortunately from a politically-charged perspective. The book contains great ideas, but they are unfortunately overshadowed by the obvious political leanings (which, by the way, are ones with which I agree; I just think any good argument doesn’t need to rely on pushing political buttons to make its points).

Everyone that uses social media should read this book. Hands down a great read.

Thank you for your efforts to improve.
