Great, but corrupted on mac. I’ve been enjoying the book on my phone a lot. It would be great if I can read it on the Mac. Currently it says “This book is corrupted” everytime i try to open the book.

Encyclopedia Technologica. I looked forward to this read for a long time. It marks my first time engaging with anything from Stripe Press and a recommendation from a fellow philosophical traveller. The experience itself was woefully disappointing. M. Mitchel Waldrop did a fantastic job to research and deliver an exhaustively detailed discovery guide through the birth of the Information Age. The key take away from this tome is that the Information Age as we know it today is the product of sheer will and happenstance. As sure an indicator that the universe is governed by the chaotic nature of entropy. The problem is that the style, pacing, and length can feel more like listening to a rambling delivery that could be more succinct and to the point. In some rare moments it resembles a Ken Burns-ish documentary in all of its slow panning glory. Still, it could have been halved and would still have garnered the same awe from the reader. I can make this assertion because I tested it. About a third of the way through I started using different speed reading techniques and then going back to test if I got the points correctly by re-reading the same sections at regular pace. I did garner the points in my first pass and can assert that there is a lot of superfluous content in this book. Additionally, I wish Waldrop had given some attention to the members of marginalized communities who missed out on contributing to this movement because of racial and gender divides. Along with what compound effects that absence of diversity from the beginning has had on the wealth gap. He briefly mentioned how early access influenced a young Bill Gates but failed to address how privilege played a part in that. That early access is huge, as I can attest. I have had a successful technology career mostly due to access to computers from a young age which demystified them for me.
