Simon Rogers' 'What We Ask Google' delves into the vast data of Google searches over the past two decades, aiming to present a hopeful view of humanity. By analyzing common queries related to parenting, health, and everyday life, Rogers reveals how these searches reflect our collective curiosity and concerns. For instance, he notes that the query 'take care of parents' has gained more interest than 'take care of kids', highlighting the pressures on the 'sandwich generation'. The book features intriguing regional search trends, such as variations in spelling queries across states. However, while Rogers seeks to uncover deeper meanings in these searches, he often glosses over significant societal issues, including the effects of technology and AI on search behavior. His optimistic perspective may overlook the darker aspects of human nature that are also reflected in search histories. Ultimately, 'What We Ask Google' serves as an engaging exploration of our online curiosities, though it may leave readers wanting a more critical analysis of the internet's role in shaping our anxieties and knowledge.
