It's a smart, thought-provoking work that also reads like an engaging conversation with a friend. The author ingeniously applies ideas about livable, well-designed cities to envisioning a more ethical digital world. Although, it could have explored the latest tech developments in more depth, the core ideas remain relevant

interesting how Adrian Sicilia compares today's digital revolution with historical changes such as the printing press, observing how both altered society… It’s important to identify lessons from those times and apply them to ours… He does not propose naive optimism or defeatist pessimism, but with a good dose of reality…he believes that although we are postponing crucial debates about the technological future we are building… We can still give it an ethical and human direction… not sure that's the case…
