About this listen

The advent of the internet has been one of the most significant technological developments in history. In this thought-provoking and ground-breaking work David Eagleman, author of international best seller Sum, presents six ways in which the net saves us from major existential threats: pandemics, poor information flow, natural disasters, political corruption, resource depletion and economic meltdown.

Learn a lot!

Really shows you the positive impact that the Internet has. We don’t even realize how much of a benefit it really is for humanity. Gives you a whole new perspective of the Internet. Great book!

I was a million miles behind

Did not realize how the internet changed our society, our culture. Old people have a lot of catching up to do. David Eagleman's
book explained it in a wonderful and understandable way. My head exploded in a beautiful way.
