At a time rife with social media bubbles, echo chambers and cancel culture, Juan Enriquez provides and insightful look at modern day ethics and how our changing landscape and advancing technology provides new challenges. Thanks NetGalley!

This is a very accessible book, incisive yet informally so. The structural features—in particular, bolding of text, frequent spontaneously placed diagrams/figures/images, and sentences and questions conversational in tone that often abruptly confront the reader’s beliefs—make for a breezy read. I think there is much to gain from the book, even if with specific claims one might disagree. Enriquez’s questions encourage one to form opinions on relevant topics that one may have never before considered, also providing enough context for one to do so. The reader is sure to sincerely consider while reading how deeply technology has affected our reality.

I actually liked the notion of the book a lot. How to we judge right from wrong when ethics are changing? Technology and cultural evolution even within our lifetime have changed us and the way we look at past behavior. The book provides an interesting and provocative thought which is extremely valuable in current times, where we discuss who are true heroes, which memorials to keep and what street names to rename.

Unfortunately, the book leaves the path at the end and becomes a political statement about incarceration rates, immigration and other topics and leaves the path of an otherwise fantastic start. Still a very interesting read in current times.
