It's a good general-history book on GPS, he does go back to the theme of it's changing our minds (mentions the impressive sea navigation abilities of cultures that have traditionally lived on the water spread out over hundreds of small islands for example) and IIRC he touches on some of the people that have died, or nearly died, trusting GPS instead of common sense, but that's by no means the majority of the book.
It's been probably close to 2 years since I read it but I enjoyed the history aspects of it.
