This review situates the book in a broader cultural and educational context. It has some fair criticisms (including the potential that some of the cultural references contained in the book might not be universal) but it felt to me that she read the book I was trying to write.

“the personality and immediacy of the writing will be just what makes the book a joy to read for many. It felt at times like listening to rather than reading the words of a storyteller. Overall, I think the book has power as an avenue to help many people, of all ages, to better contextualise the rapid changes in the global information landscape of the past quarter century. The book, hopefully, will inspire others to tell their different but also personal stories about change and the future.” (Cronin, 2024)

You know that feeling when all of your neurons seem to be firing at once? That’s how I felt throughout reading and after finishing Dave Cormier’s excellent book Learning in the Time of Abundance: Community is the Curriculum. It’s like my unconscious mind had been spinning on a dual-part question – why is everything so much harder than it used to be and how do I balance it all? – that I hadn’t quite formed, let alone found an answer to, and Dave’s book helped me normalize the question and *maybe* find an iota of peace in the uncertainty and changing nature of the answer (?!?!?). https://clarissasorensenunruh.com/2024/03/11/belonging-part-2-belonging-and-information-abundance/
