Rated The People Vs Tech: How the Internet Is Killing Democracy 10/10

There's a lot of recent publications about how technology (and especially technology from Silicon Valley) impacts society. I liked ‘People vs Tech’, because it is very to the point and compact. It looks at tech from a political sciences point of view and is full of sharp observations. It paints a gloomy picture of what may lie ahead of us, but also provides ideas to help avoid catastrophe (some more original than others).

Rated De bananengeneratie 8/10

Rated Het grote gevecht 8/10

This book discusses shareholders, legal entities, mergers and markets, but despite that, it reads like a thriller. It reconstructs how the CEO of Unilever put sustainability on the corporate agenda, mixing big business with idealism. I'm impressed by the work that must have gone into this book, the historical accounts are very detailed and give lots of some behind the scenes context (still not sure if I follow the logic of big businesses, but that's probably me).
