A great book that will likely appeal to fans of Rob Ware and Cory Doctorow. Chilling and funny, an examination of how human innovation may imperil humanity. The story of a world dominated by monopolies, algorithms, and consumption. Add in social credit and AI, and you've got the real world...erm, Qualityland. Following a machine scrapper, a presidential candidate, and others, Qualityland tells a tale of conflict between individuals and systems, as one man seeks to overcome the identity imposed upon him by corporate systems. A satirical look at the influences big tech and e-commerce have on the world today. At times Qualityland prioritizes its ideas over the plot, but it is nevertheless potent and amusing.
