My first DNF of the year. Also, the second Jaron Lanier book I have trudged halfway through only to abandon it. It‘s so-so, and probably a must read if you are seriously interested in Virtual Reality (he‘s the originator of the tech) or if you are a fan of Jaron Lanier as a speaker/thinker/musician/philosopher. I want to like him and his books, but his mind is just too muddled, and I can‘t get behind his “hippie vibe” or his abandonment issues.
