The social justice portion also left a lot to be desired for me, personally. Maybe I'm too used to reading academic articles which take a deep dive into specific topics, but none of this felt like more than a superficial skim (or a series of blog posts, which the author mentions writing), and every time they mentioned an idea from somebody else's scholarly work I wished I was reading one of those instead.
To be honest I'm not sure I would have gotten through this if it hadn't been in audiobook form. Maybe somebody less familiar with how racism and cissexism, etc. operate in society would find this a handy primer, but unfortunately it just kind of bored me.

Dr. Prescod-Weinstein lays everything out so well but without talking down to you or coming off like she is right and you are wrong. She doesn't claim to have all the answers or to know how to solve everything while still pointing out the very real issues that have to be addressed.
Oh and the physics is pretty interesting but easy to understand (for a neuroscientist at least haha!)
A must read for a academics and folks who want to try to make the world a better place.

Colorism. Eugenics, mentions of forced sterilization. Climate change. Rape and assault are discussed and frankly but not graphically described; a chapter centered around rape includes a content warning in the preface and is able to be skipped.
