Scarcity Brain - 3 out of 5 hunger pangs
I just finished this audiobook. It fits neatly into my 'infotainment' category. There are some interesting ideas here, but it isn't a book I'll rush out to tell my friends to read.
It starts out strong, delving into the history and modern business of slot machines and how they shape and are built around playing the human brain against its person, something the author calls the scarcity loop. Playing on that mechanism in our brain to drive the further capitalism.
Overall I found this the most interesting portion of the book, and everything afterwards was something I could have personally skipped. There were interesting insights and stories, but nothing that made me go 'oh wow!'
