Finished reading: [Move Slowly and Build Bridges](https://micro.blog/books/9780197776704) by Robert W. Gehl 📚

Here’s what I thought of Move Slowly and Build Bridges by Robert W. Gehl:

I gave it 5/5 stars.

Overall a great book on the history of the Fediverse and the struggles it’s faced and faces.

Robert Gehl has written a must read text for anyone studying, enjoying, engaging in, working on the Fediverse.
Though a bit academic, Gehl’s book is well written and researched. His interviews with various people who have shaped the Fediverse makes this a must read.
I highly recommend it.
