August 25, 2024There is a chapter in this book called ‘Style After Substance’, about the ability of the fourth dimension to both solidify thoughts, ideas and human behaviour, but also make it more transient and hard to grasp. This book is full of such insights, contradictions, philosophy and, dare I say, sophistry?!
Not that Scott is trying to deceive us, but he doesn’t make it easy to follow his trains of thought. The central idea about how ubiquitous technology, the ‘always on’ of modern digital communication, and lives increasingly lived in cyberspace, is brilliant. However, it is just a little bit too rich for me as a whole book of thought-provoking tech-prose. I'm more of a shallow pop-science kind of reader ... although not as shallow as 'Hit Refresh'! (see later read)
