I kinda knew what to expect but this book could have really been just an article. There was a whole lot of opinionated fluff along the way. He added a lot of weird biased opinion which was slanted very left in some regards. This could have totally been written without his bias against certain people and beliefs. He made some good points when he shared data and facts and that is why I didn't give it a 1 star. When presenting arguments it is just better to stick with facts. I don't read books like this for someone's opinions slanted either right or left. Just the facts, man... just the facts, please. Un libro importante da leggere oggi, direi quasi “da far leggere a scuola”. Non ci si lasci ingannare dal titolo: non si tratta semplicemente di chiudere un account social per “protesta” contro le grandi corporation. Si tratta di ragionare con consapevolezza sull’effetto dei social media sulle nostre vite. Lanier a tratti assume toni fin troppo alti, paragonando la condotta di Facebook o Google a quella di sette religiose… ma non fanno forse lo stesso i loro portavoce, parlando di progetti pensati per rendere le persone immortali o le macchine più intelligenti di noi? Le 10 tesi di questo libro aiutano a capire perché siamo sempre più distanti, intolleranti e razzisti, con conseguenza politiche davanti agli occhi di tutti. Senza i social media e la non-etica che propongono, fatta di individualismo, popolarità e gare a chi fa la voce più grossa, in Italia probabilmente non avremmo al governo Lega e 5 stelle. A un livello forse meno radicale, questo libro aiuta a capire che cosa veramente abbiamo offerto in cambio di software che, gratis, sembrano semplificarci la vita. Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc_Jq42Og7Q TED Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ-PUXPVlos One interesting thing he briefly mentions is his abandoned belief (and maybe collectively, our culture's belief) in tech entrepreneurs as icons who will transform (and save) the world. Naomi Klien talks about this too in NO IS NOT ENOUGH, about how we put our faith in the super wealthy (one of her examples was Bill Gates) to help the rest of the not-so-prosperous world (through charity, through their projects and products, etc.). sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

I agree with many of the other LT reviews of this work. It is light, somewhat biased against specific individuals, and clunky at times (e.g., "BUMMER"), but it is still a worthwhile read. In this review, I'm going to look at the work holistically, suck out the golden nuggets from the author's arguments, and make an action plan for implementing his ideas. Warning, spoilers follow. If you want a quick and dirty summary of the author's key points and how to implement them in the real world, keep reading.
About the Author (Briefly)
Lanier is a pioneer in the field of virtual reality. He left Atari in the mid-1980s to found a company focused on developing the first commercial VR products, avatars, and multiperson virtual-worlds. He later worked for Microsoft Research. Look him up on Wikipedia -- he's lived an interesting life.
Key Points
Here's a bullet-point summary of Lanier's ten arguments:
My Takeaways
I didn't know what to expect with this book. It is most certainly an easy, entertaining, and well-cited read. Nearly every page is footnoted with interesting articles to learn more. I think the most important things I took away from this are the subtle yet profound ways in which social media shapes our thoughts, behaviors, and even our self-esteem. Lanier's insights into the psychological and societal impacts of social media are particularly striking, especially the parts about loss of free will and empathy. These points resonated with me, prompting a deeper reflection on my own social media use.
After discussing this with my wife, we decided on a short "Action Plan" to help implement some of Lanier's ideas:
Action Plan for Curtailing Social Media Use
All in all, another good, thought-provoking read. Now to post this to LibraryThing.... ( )
