A fun little book, which contains a ton of stuff that I like. San Francisco. Bookstores. Typography. Data visualization. In the beginning, it promises a lot, but doesnât live up to that. Still, itâs worth reading.
The thing that kind of annoyed me about the books it that it reads a bit like a love letter to Google. I had to check Robin Sloanâs author profile, to see if he works there. He doesnât. However, this book could be read as a super creative Google job application. Stranger things have happened.
