Sergio reviewed Bit Tyrants by Rob Larson
Review of 'Bit Tyrants' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Somewhat disappointed in this one as someone already familiar with Silicon Valley's shitty practices and propensity for evil; the bulk of the text consists of surface level retellings of Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple's histories, most of which I was already familiar with and containing a lot of redundant facts between chapters, and despite how much I agree with the author, there was really nothing new of significance I could chew on, or any indepth lecture on economy I could learn from. The later chapters tackle other relevant subjects such as net neutrality, although with similar depth, so I can only recommend this as a truly introductory text.
