I agree on all of this, but were books different (except for surveillance)?

Also that’s not really the point the article is making. They say that simply reading books makes you smarter. As if people read physics books in their freetime back then. No, they just read entertaining stories, and now they stream entertaining stories. Nothing has fundamentally changed. Back then Oil made you part of the owner class, now it’s IT and the owning of marketplaces.
