Well, I didn’t quite like this book as much as the first one, I still greatly appreciated the messaging in the commentary that Hank Green was trying to make. This book dealt much more heavily with the consequences of increasing social media  and technology use, and the power that people can gain and misuse through those tools. There is a lot that I felt that Green gets right as far as human psychology and behavior, As well as how we function societally. Green brings up a number of concerns for us to have, but overall has a very hopeful and optimistic outlook on humanity and our ability to solve our problems, which is something that I greatly appreciated at the time of reading this book.
