"Tech Santa has arrived, and even though the ice is melting, his bag is still bulging with the latest, greatest tech toys for the boys. Let’s see, what do we have here? AI, bitcoin, shiny, shiny electric vehicles, scooters, vapes, and solar panels. Wind machines with gigantic blades that can reach almost as high as the Eiffel Tower. Wow! How could you not be impressed."

I strongly recommend this new book. It is well informed and written well and persuasively.
