I’d heard about this book on TWIT when Rob was a guest on the weekly tech culture show. I’m a Sci-Fi fan, so I thought it would be a good read. Year Zero is a snarky look at the modern intellectual property system with bias for all things hip. PC versus Mac, Unions, politics, lawyers, lobbyists, republican and democrats are all lampooned. Set this in the context of alien visits and you get a ridiculous scenario.
I struggled liking this during the first few chapters but it caught on me once the hero got a clue and started to take control of the situation. Fun read that proposed answers to some of
the problems in our law, tech and society.
I listened to the audio book narrated by John Hodgman who did a great job providing a voice for the characters. This would make a funny film.
