Some interesting passages and quite a lot to agree with in the book. However, it contorts itself many times to attempt to fit to the narrative of A.I. companies as empires of old. Sometimes you're not quite sure what the point is. At one point the book is angry at a data company for offering work to poor Kenyans at low wages as exploitative, but then also angry when those jobs are taken away.

Although I disagreed with the book in many places, there is much to agree with in the pages. A.I. companies are becoming rather powerful, and whenever power concentrates it is well worth us asking what we should do about that. I think we flunked that exam in the 2010s with the new social media companies, let's not flunk it again, when the stakes are probably higher, social media companies may have frayed society but they were never an existential threat, artificial super intelligence certainly is.

I do think there is quite a bit wrong with the book though, it's economically illiterate and sees the A.I. companies as villains above all else, and so contorts itself to make that the case.
