His conversational style and real-world examples make complex concepts digestible, even for tech novices like myself. I found myself chuckling at his witty observations and dog-earing pages to share with colleagues. It’s a quick read that’s left a lasting impact on how I view online experiences.

His ideas challenged my perspective, making me look at the world differently. A must-read for anyone curious about the hidden complexities shaping our daily experiences.
