In this episode of Reading between the Lines, Hamza Foy & Mishkat Suleiman discuss What Tech Calls Thinking by author Adrian Daub. This book discusses the themes & major ideas that are produced by the key figures of the tech industry such as 'disruption', 'the medium is the message', & other ideas and where these ideas originated from.

We discuss the unintended consequences of major apps such as Facebook, Twitter, & Lyft, what is 'trolling', and what resulted in the fact that more & more of tech revolves around engagement rather than meaningful transfer of information & other modes of communication.
