        No matter how you look at this book, it seems promising. It presents ten simple arguments about why social media is harmful and why you should maintain a healthy distance with it.
It discusses how you are losing your free will, how by using social media you're turning into an asshole, how social media is making what you say meaningless and so on.
it's short and it seems to be a quick and somewhat light read. And on top of all that it's written by Jaron Lanier, someone who's been at the core of what happens in Silicon Valley for years.
And that's why this book bugs me so much! Nobody could give us a more authentic view of the digital world than someone who's had an active part in making it. Yet his awful and scattered writing makes it impossible to get a general idea of what he wants to say and it's such a shame as it could have been so enlightening.
-----------------------------
With all that being said there are some thought  provoking sentences in this book but then again, it fails to be something more than that!
How can you find happiness without authentic self-esteem? How can you be authentic when everything you read, say or do is being fed into a judgment machine?
I have no way of seeing your social media feed, however. I therefore have lessened powers to empathize with what you think and feel.
