Yet another banger from Chakraborty! Although the first 50 pages or so are a bit slow it definitely picks up pace and keeps pace for the rest of the book. 

informative slow-paced

DID NOT FINISH BUT NEEDED TO MARK IT FINISHED FOR A READING CHALLENGE! 
The further I got into the book the less I agreed with it. It felt like everything was being blamed on social media, which I agree is partially causing issues, but it didn't feel like he was giving enough weight to the PEOPLE who use it, the people who bully others on it, or the fact that parents give unfettered a cess to it. Once he started to tie in religion, a morality shift to the immoral life I just couldn't listen any longer.
