knee jerk reactions to Tom Kemp ‘big tech’ book

While waiting for a latte at Peet’s: come as you are

are you an ally of Josh Becker?

are you an asset of Josh Becker?

did you work full-time in tech before becoming an author about tech?

have you read gerrymander in the absence of the sacred?

are you concerned about capitalism per se?

is there a sweet spot between self publishing, and being part of a multimedia conglomerate lake Bertelsmann?

The guy with the Michigan sweatshirt I was talking to women who asked him when his book reading was; so I followed suit. That she brushed his arm on the way out revealed they were friends beyond just be recognized by her.  I apologize for asking 20 questions, but not quite listening to his response.

I couldn’t find it exact reference, but he knew I was talking about surveillance capitalism Zooba.
