Amy Webb
A Harmonious Echo
You rated Parmy Olson's 'Supremacy' a solid 4/5, highlighting its 'clear and engaging rhythm' in explaining the AGI race and the 'crucial point we are living through.' This resonates profoundly with how you've approached Amy Webb's 'The Big Nine,' even without specific notes. Both books, despite focusing on different facets of the technological landscape – AGI development versus the dominance of major tech companies – share a foundational VIBE: a sober, almost elegiac examination of power structures being reshaped by digital forces. You intuitively recognized in 'Supremacy' the existential weight of this moment, and this same contemplative, forward-looking concern likely informs your engagement with 'The Big Nine's' critique of concentrated tech influence.
