This was hard...
I wanted to like it, I liked a lot of it, but it overall didn't seem to work for me. I struggled to get into it, it felt meandering and self satisfied.
Honestly, if section two “The Airborne Toxic Event” was a standalone short story with no other edits, it would be incredible.
Uggggggggghhhhhhh
Took an interesting theory and buried in poor methodology, grandiose unsupported claims, and self satisfied prose. Like seriously, this guy is so condescending, and routinely talks about how much better than everyone else he is and how he is the only one that sees things clearly. And this is not a political disagreement; I hold many of the same view points, and even think the basic theory is interesting, but seriously, this guy is a douche
Why is this sex comedy so cough cough touching? Beautifully illustrated, thoughtful story about the impact of mental health on your and your loved one's lives
3.5 Stars. Nothing revolutionary, and a lot of the basic ideas are covered better by books like Automating Inequality, but I'm being a little generous, because this was one of the first books to start the conversation on this topic
