Changed my view on racism and privilege.

Revisado: 06-24-18

This book was extremely powerful and helping me to understand that institutionalized racism is something that we are all affected to our collective detriment regardless if you are beneficiary of privilege or the oppressed by it. So that when anyone seeks to remove institutionalized privileges, it's not necessarily to "save the oppressed", but to save one's self and others, from a privileged vantage point, from the pitfalls of the disease. The disease that keeps us as a society from obtaining true equality.

Some good and some bad.

Good computer security discussion, wrong cloud computing definition. A network printer is not Cloud Computing.

Do get me wrong, the content was great.

Revisado: 11-26-17

I thought this was a great book and it has really changed my perspective of Microsoft in a good way. I found the chapters on Quantum computing, the cloud, and artificial intelligence the most interesting. As a manager in the tech industry I also found the authors' comments on inspiring a workforce inspirational for even myself.

Now for the bad. There have been some business, self improvement, and even more technical books that I have listened to and could not put it down. There were times where I was staying up half the night just to listen to the book. Unfortunately, this wasn't one of those books. I just don't know what it was. I found the information really intriguing but it just didn't make me want to listen to it all the time. I actually struggled a little bit to finish this book. I think it had a bit to do with it being more of a dump of information that probably could have been told through some better stories. Then again, I'm sure this book would have been twice as long.

Anyways, great book. I would highly encourage people that work in the tech industry or any industry for that matter to read / listen to it, but it just might be a little difficult to finish.

The Potential was there

Revisado: 04-24-17

This had the potential to be a great story with a recovering drug addict, but it fell flat in my opinion. More time should have been spent digging into why Trevor was a drug addict. Why Simon being a surgeon was an escape for him. More into the distrust that Trevor's family had about Trevor's every more.

Learned so much

I had always cast a questionable eye on history as I currently know it. This course has responded to some of doubts about US history and others that I wasn't award of. I really enjoyed this course.

Truly Appreciated

Revisado: 01-21-17

This listened to this book twice now and am thinking about listening to it again. It just has really good life wisdom. A book with Sage advice in a manner that of "wait the f**k up".

Perspectives

Revisado: 05-30-16

Overall this was a good book. As a black man in his 20s, I really enjoyed hearing so many different perspectives as toward how people are with their blackness.

Overall Great Story

Revisado: 12-13-15

The best part hands down is the narration. Andrew was able to make the different characters' voices really sing.
