Wasn't he the guy with the "Bitcoin is anti trust money" take? I know nothing of the book, but I'd strongly suggest not to believe everything you read.
Enjoyed his previous books, even though there were some gaps and perspectives I didn’t agree with. I saw this today and plan on giving it a read
I’m hating this book, it’s really grinding my gears. I hope you didn’t get it.
Interesting to hear! There were parts of his previous ones that grinded my gears, particularly where I felt he lacked insight on topics. I haven’t got it yet
I got the book thinking it was going to be about information, but is not. The prologue is cringe. His take on computers and AI is plain wrong, without any base. Constant fearmongering, and propaganda. And a very strong love for the state… maybe some people can enjoy that, I’m only trying to finish it so I can write a review
Good summary. I heard him speak about Bitcoin in an interview somewhere and it was clear he didn’t understand it. And his take on the history of Australia in regards to the Aboriginal people who have lived here for 50,000 + years was ignorant and wrong. Good luck finishing it
