One of my top five books of 2020.
This is one of the most unique books I have read in a long time. It is a series of unconnected short stories that all center around characters who are using a new technology (different technology in each story).
Not only does this book share how the world might look different with these technologies but its true value comes from the philosophical look it gives to these technologies.
This book is thought provoking. It challenges you to reflect on how to still keep our humanity as technology plays a greater and greater role in our life. How will we keep our humanity as technologies start to change our way of life? And do the benefits outweigh the costs? What do we, as people, need to hold sacred and important about our culture, traditions, and humanity as our technological advances grow exponentially?
My favorite stories were The Truth of Fact, The Truth of Feeling and The Great Silence (this one made me cry).
