It's about the relevance of ancient philosophical ideas to modern society's dilemmata, and progress in philosophy over the ages, in a fictionalised setting where Plato visits Google. I think "clickbait" is a bit harsh here.
i think its a fair condensation. the discussion of google is pretty incidental and given the lack of any actual official connection to GOOG, i think we should be shrewd in our assessment; it's in the title to sell more books.
I hadn't thought of that, because I knew the premise. I wouldn't say that it's been done on purpose to sell more books, but I could absolutely understand, now that you mention it, if someone bought the book based on the title and would be extremely disappointed by it. (I mean, I knew sort of what it was about and was disappointed...)
