Should make you very angry

While the contents of the book are still relevant, thee tech world moves fast, so fast that some of the contents felt woefully out of date. It's pretty much the same cast of characters that seem to pop up in lots of books and podcasts at the moment, all of whom were inspired by reading The Sovereign Individual; think Peter Thiel and Co. The book deal with how these tech start up went from small and insignificant, to become the monopolies they are today, and the practices they keep so it stays that way.

While the contents are at times enlightening, it's been five years since publication, and things have only got worse.
