it was amazing
Read 2 times. Last read April 3, 2021 to April 7, 2021.

I found this book relevant now in 2021. With the pandemic on going, the amount of connectivity is correlated to the rate the virus is transmitted. The concept is there. However, this book was written pre social media era, so somehow it was unrelatable. But now, even people who are not technical can actually understand the concept in this book because of the amount of involvement we have with the social media in any form.

This is easy to read book and hopefully can be improved with the perspective of the current social media progress.

Edit.
I realized later that i actually read a recent book with the same author. Haha. The recent book the Apollo's Arrow is a great book talking about the 2020 pandemic and connectivity. So yes. That's cool.
