I just bought a copy, and look forward to reading it. (Unfortunately) I relate to what is described. I get this sense that the infinite possibilities given to us with computers has shifted to focus solely on consumption.

I know this isn't the case for everyone or everything--everything that makes computers special is still out there in one form or another, and arguably tools like YouTube and the like has made creating and sharing new things possible. It still seems you have to stray away from the path you're guided to in order to find them (and know they exist!). I'm thinking of things like microcontrollers, electronics, programming in general.
