Rainer König hat Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope von Mark Manson besprochen
4 Sterne
An interesting book. Manson tells a lot of stories and dives deep into philosophical questions. I would have given 5 stars if there wouldn't be a historic flaw. In the first chapter he tells the story of Witold Pilecki, a polish man that sneaked into the Auschwitz contentration camp during World War 2 and spied against the Nazis. And then you read "How did you build you own transistor radio out of spare parts and stolen batteries, Mac-Gyver style, and then successfully transmit plans for an attack on the prison camp to the Secret Polish Army in Warsaw?". The problem I see is that the "official birth date" of the transistor is December 21, 1947, so two and a half year after the war was over.
Besides that inaccuracy its a book worth reading. You learn about the basic concepts of religions and you learn, that even capitalsim and whatever …

Besides that inaccuracy its a book worth reading. You learn about the basic concepts of religions and you learn, that even capitalsim and whatever drives the world is a sort of religion. Then you visit great philosophers like Nietzsche or Kant. And at the end you learn about the disruption that artificial intelligence is introducing to our daily life. That AI might be the next god.
