Reading is something that I love to do but shy away from at times because of the time commitment involved. I just finished a book called "You are not a Gadget" by Jaron Lanier and talk about my experience with the book, how it helped open up my perspectives on online culture, and how the structure of programs can/do influence the outputs by users. Most importantly I think it solidified in my mind that it is easy to become swept away in the system and forget about who YOU are. I also dive into some of the existential challenges this book invoked & how I came to realizations about what I need in order to succeed in my day to day. Overall I think it's important to note that the design of the world is to flatten you out and make people "equal" but it is our uniqueness that define us & add flavor the world
