You're right! And Yanis is open about that he is very political (and leftist).

The book is written in the form of a letter to his father. We get a lot of backstory about why and how his views are shaped, reading Marx in his childhood and seeing his friends toil away at factories. The latter part of the book is an essay of a new system that supposedly fixes a lot of shortcomings with the modern system. That's what I meant about political stuff.

I kinda just stumbled in with an open mind to learn more what "techno feudalism" and modern cloud companies worked because I'm very interested in it. But it's still an alright book. Tells the story of whats behind both the man and the idea -- the whys and how. It made it longer though.
