I came to The Filter Bubble via Nick Harkaway's The Blind Giant: Being Human in a Digital World.

Having bought Future Crimes I skimmed it and gave it to one of my sons for whom it is very relevant.

A book I have found fascinating and pertinent to this thread is Rise of the Robots by Martin Ford, published in 2015.

This is not a book, but rather a US Supreme Court case on restrictive state laws in Texas and Florida that could transform the nature of free speech on all social media:

So it's something to take careful notice of, Tim and everyone.
