Review of 'Glass Cage' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Although repetitive at times,  Carr makes some  interest points about automation and how it affects us.
While machines like computers and smart phones make us more efficient and - hypothetically more productive, it comes with a cost. They diminish the extraordinary abilities that make us humans.
