Document Notes
Ghostreader works best when you ask a specific question that is likely to be contained in the subject document. A general question such as “What is the main takeaway of this article?” will not work as well with Ghostreader. A better question to ask on this document might be: “What alternative philosophy does Rushkoff suggest as an alternative to the dystopias we see as part of our possible future?”
