So, I'm not exactly the audience for this book ("Trust no one over twenty-five!"), and I only moderately enjoyed it. I prefer my antagonists a bit less hissable, my arguments less black and... well, black. The message was delivered pretty heavy-handedly, and the book read more as an illustrated example of the problems with the direction that tech, privacy, and information analysis is headed. I tend to agree with the message, but some nuance would be nice. Some idea that, just perhaps, the people using analytics to try to solve a problem aren't pure evil, but just trying to do a job. Interesting book, but not that fun.
