Read this if you want to understand twenty first century and what is awaiting us as humans. The title ' Money' is a bit of an underrated if you know what the book contain. The first part, indeed, is about money. But, to me, the second part is more engrossing. Hariri writes about how the IT and algorithm ( read Google and Facebook) are going to render most of the human beings as irrelevant and only commercial stuff and factories to generate data. This is simply fascinating.
