The author applies Nietzsche's philosophy as a salve to address the downside of our current technology driven world, particularly that of social media's impact on the quality of our lives. Nietzsche was an opponent of the easy life, which is practically the opposite of what humanity aspires to today. We want everything cheap and quick and to require the least effort possible so that we can move on to our next frenzy driven activity. This has been a recipe for societal malaise. We need instead to engage with the world physically as much as possible but most importantly in human face-to-face connections. The book not only presents Nietzsche's philosophy juxtaposed against the argument against modern life, but also exposes the reader to other aspects of his philosophy. I have already reduced the control of social media by turning off notifications for everything excepts texts. It's a relief t not be constantly interrupted by pings of various tones. Nietzsche is sometimes a tough and controversial read, but always rewarding. It is great to have an author like Anderson distill the philosopher's work into digestible chunks for this specific need.
