@JBrodkinWebb Strong agree! Making everything dependent on digital infrastructure is bad in so many ways, especially because the kind of control over your data and, to some degree, extension of self, you're giving away to some third party.

Not only things like your diary, messages to loved ones and friends, or significant images can be stored on digital devices, or often cloud platforms, but more importantly your main source if information comes from such online platforms.

If that's the ONLY place you'll inform yourself through, and all of those places (Twitter, Facebook, Google / Apple News) are well-monitored and algorithmically controlled, then damn a good and critical book will be worth a lot to you.
