Historia
Many think of the internet as an unprecedented and overwhelmingly positive achievement of modern human technology. But is it? In The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is, Justin Smith offers an original deep history of the internet, from the ancient to the modern world - uncovering its surprising origins in nature and centuries-old dreams of radically improving human life by outsourcing thinking to machines and communicating across vast distances.

A Never Ending Jacob's Ladder of Ideas to Nowhere
Revisado: 06-18-23
After hearing a very strong quote from this book, I immediately downloaded it, thinking it would be a thought-provoking read/listen. No. I now believe the speaker I heard the quote from used lots of brackets and ellipses to create a point where there isn't one.
If you are Gen X or older, this book might appeal to you more, with its wandering fearmongering ideals about the internet. As for me, I think I was hoping for an educated deep dive into the internet's impact on the world and the way we operate as a society because of it, how it's affected us not only socially, but in every other aspect of our lives as well. This book....well, it looked in those directions. The book keeps saying, "This is a thing that's happening!!!" And then moves on to the next "thing that is happening" without expanding upon the first "thing" or even linking the "things" together to create a larger picture point. Sorry if you enjoyed it. I really wanted to like this book, but after listening 1 ½ times, I really want to find Justin and beg for an explanation with an idea at the center, instead of this pinboard of loose shower thoughts he thinks might match up.
