Bitwise

Part nerd memoir, part overview of different ways of encoding/modelling humanity. We love to taxonomize and label our characteristics and behaviours, and have found in computers and algorithms ideal collaborators to analyze and monetize our every distinctions. For sorters, systemizers and lovers of data.

I enjoyed sections (the early messenger code wars, that mandatory mbti obsession, seeing your kids evolution in terms of software upgrades, ..) but in total this lacked some cohesiveness and couldn't quite settle on what it wanted to be. And it definitely had too much D&D talk.
