That book is so long. It took me 2 months of constant reading to get through all of it. It’s stupendously researched and explained and what’s said and explained is still shocking to me.
Yes, I do highly recommend that book but I wish I had gotten the audiobook instead. It’s easier to digest long books that way, albeit you can’t annotate.

Reading your blog post:
Isn’t behavioral surplus nothing but metadata then? But well written. People need to know about all of it. As impressive as the book is, I think there needs to be a “dumbed down” version of it to make it even more palatable to even more people. I hate to say it like that but it’s kinda true I feel. Not everyone is going to understand or understand the importance of all that’s explained all the time.
But anyone can disagree with me, that’s just how I feel about it having read it all a couple of years ago and being informed of how things have gone and are going today.
