I read “You Are Not A Gadget” over a decade ago. He seems like an interesting guy. I have not read the book on social media. It’s not a stretch to think all social media is gathering data on us, mainly for the purpose of generating a “digital double” that could be used for various nefarious purposes. 

 I read you are not a gadget last year. He highlights many of the problems with social media platforms. 

 I also read YANAG back in the day. I often don't like or don't agree with Lanier's weird framings but i find them very valuable anyway.

Recently i heard this discussion. It was pretty good.

 I've never heard of Yanag before. I'll check him out.

I also don't like or agree with Lanier on everything either. For one thing, he's a no-coiner. 🤮
