Best parts of this book? 100% Lawsuit stories. But also. Knowing how they shared the work and how they became robots. How the logo was born. Around the world behind the scenes. Seeing my design school name twice in the story. Seeing how they didn’t care about fame in terms of social privilege.

I started reading Careless People and stopped halfway through… I was annoyed for many reasons, and I found it painful to read tbh. I decided to pick something more inspiring this afternoon and started binge reading. I have already read two thirds of it.
