Interesting read,
It helps when you get to know the Author first through his podcast. https://www.securityzed.com/podcast-test
I think this changes the way you will read some of the chapters greatly.
In his podcast he emphasizes the importance of thinking about and preparing for the future, and in the book this attitude is somewhat lost, I felt that knowing his intentions it helped me while reading statements that I personally would disagree with.
He raises interesting topics in regards to the future we are heading towards, and the fact that we are not talking about the consequences our Daly rescissions are going to have.
I disagree with most of his conclusions but nonetheless I found it an interesting read and would recommend it to people who liked the Book The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power. It debates many similar points but draws different conclusions.
Exposed is the shorter book though and might get your gears rolling in a similar way.

Quite difficult to follow at times; author adds humor in awkward places which undermines the gravity of the concept described. Lots of repetition present along with a great deal of paradoxical statements.
The dystopia/ utopia envisioned by the author seems so far removed from reality based on human nature that it’s difficult to take this writing seriously. Redundancy, syntax and striking departure from our current reality as a global society makes this an unpleasant if not tedious read.
