Those with a low tolerance for animal cruelty may want to skip this book. The descriptions of experiments made me put down the book for several weeks.

Interesting facts presented with a lot of problematic worldviews and questionable conclusions on the author’s part (colonialism, Freudian, etc). Be prepared for a ton of able-ism. There’s some weirdly hero-worshipping descriptions of some of the (male, presumably white) scientists the author interviews. Also there’s descriptions of horrific lab experiments on animals, presented as normal or brilliant depending on who created the experiment.
