I read Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think for book club. It’s not a book I would have chosen by myself because it’s nonfiction and it’s not a topic I am really interested in. And as with most non-fiction books, I found this, too, to be too long when it could have been written like a long short story.
The point he makes in the book is interesting and I don’t disagree with him but I don’t think he showed enough data and most of what he talks about is anecdotal in my opinion. Nonetheless, if you’re one of those “the future is doomed” people, this might be interesting to read for another perspective. I think these topics are never so simple that we can think black or white but having a range of thoughts is always important.
