Reviews and Comments

Overall, great capture of the creation of internet culture, the pathway to radicalization and just the way that society is failing great swaths of people across the board. The only whacky bits are the "divisions of Antifa" and "members of Antifa" shouts that I kept seeing when those aren't even really groups (more on that in "Culture Warlords" by Talia Lavin). That's such a small sticking point that I can't really give too much heat to the overall book however. Great content, fun read, worth the while.

This is probably the most thorough and important book about the history of Latinos in America. Covering the history of American interventionism, it ties a thread from Central & Southern America to the United States, detailing interventionism, imperialism and state-driven capitalism.

Lethem's absurdist narrative and hard-boiled detective style is always fun to read.
