It’s getting a bit boring. I feel like we’re using big words for the sake of big words. Make a sentence sound indie

It’s interesting to see someone else’s opinion on the tech industry. Especially another’s women’s in a different country from a different period.

The start up the women is at for the big data I am intrigued. There has been dropped hints of gathering the specific data for their customers but they can also see that data but would not. I wonder if this was before a data breach or laws in place.

Very interesting book. However it’s annoying none of the company names can be mentioned. Would give much more background. The apps are instead described and you need to guess which app it could be.

The reason why I think one is Amazon the author mentions about an online shopping giant. Then mentions how they have server farms. I don’t think there is another company as such in America. Alibaba would be the next bet but I am sure this was founded outwith America.

The first chapter of the book is promising. Highlighting the digital change to the book publishing industry. How the tech startups are coming along to try change the culture. The book has so far described a couple apps but not outright said the name. I think one is Airbnb. The other I think is Amazon

The book itself has been well read before me so it’s got those used spine which makes for good reading

I saw this book on a recommendation on tiktok. I was intrigued and not long after headed to vinted to buy the book.
