This nonfiction work is well structured, face-paced, and incredibly concise. Each chapter takes on a different scene and innovation; be prepared to want to know more! Between economics and the environment, algorithms are making decisions on our behalf, the consequences disastrous and humorous. Do not be surprised if you find yourself reading long sections out loud to your friends, family, and significant other.
Humans Need Not Apply is a map of what the landscape is today, planting seeds for the reader to envision what the terrain will look like tomorrow.

Using some scrap lumber, I built a stand and cradle to rotate my Nexus 6 on the camera lens' axis; the theory is this will help to produce better photospheres. Paired with Cardboard, it is an interesting experience being able to go back and immerse yourself in the environment again.
Lamenting I had forgotten my stand, I tried to make do with holding the phone upside down and trying to keep a steady axis over the end of a branch plunged into the sand. A few decent shots turned out, however the stitching accuracy is definitely better when the cradle is there to hold the phone at steady angles.
