I'll give it a look, it sounds rather fun. Read the synopisis and I think I'll grab it when I get home.
Plato at the Googleplex is another fun, casual philosophy read! I found it a bit boring because I spent most of undergrad as a history of philosophy person, so I've already spent more time than any person reasonably should thinking about Plato/Socratic stuff and how it relates to the modern world. People who have already sone deep dives on the primary sources may find it a bit of a re-hash. But it's a great introduction to Plato and applies his thoughts to modern problems in an extremely fun style of prose! I was nearly brought to tears by one of Plato's expressions of how much he loved his teacher and mentor.
If anyone here wants to give themselves a bit of bougie cultured lingo to impress your PMC friends, give it a read. Otherwise, it's a decent overview of Plato that makes the primary sources more accessible to someone who isn't willing to dump a hundred grand on college.
