Kevin Kelly
Loved it

And i believe i gave this book a 5 out of 5 stars, but it wasn't on my favorite books of 2020 list. I'm gonna put it in: the volume of this book is astronomical. Even though, i did give this 5 out of 5 stars so it doesn't make sense why i'm putting it in the second tier but we're just going to ignore it.
