Some of the plot elements I didn't find myself that interested in. However the setting and the characters have completely transformed the way I look at cities and how hostile our car centered infrastructure is to us on a human scale.

I'll never look at highways the same again!

A lot of waffle, I guess you have to pass the time somehow. However every now and then you find a nugget of wisdom you keep with you.

Worth a read.

Almost everyone is a sceptic on big tech, especially since the rise of tik tok and its clones. But the evidence shown in this book has almost radicalised me in this belief. Its made me reconsider my childhood and more so the upbringing a lot of my generation had. I had already deleted my social media before reading this, but if I hadn't already I don't know what else would make you take the plunge.

Its made me think very deeply about how I'd like to raise my future children, and more importantly how to build a community where they can thrive.
