Somewhere in between 2 - 3 stars. Picked up the book years ago but left it collect dust on my shelves after a failed attempt at reading it. The first part is worth reading, the mix of science with popular culture, explaining how addiction has been studied and evolved throughout the years is confirming some assumptions I had.

On the other hand, the second part is as boring as a corporate conversation during which people open up about their feelings and feel vulnerable. The author spread the explanation of addiction-inducing design elements over hundred of pages without any clear understanding of why that is necessary. We all know phones make us addicted, we all know the infinite scroll is there to keep us in the loop.

With those non-fiction books, the tone becomes predictable after a couple of pages in.
