2.0

Interesting and in some aspects rightly terrifying, this is undone by Turse's overdone righteous indignation. Copy editing isn't great and the collection of essays seems less focused than the work could have been.

I suspect that at some points the author has been on the verge of using the word "sheeple": it's that feeling of smugness through the work that ultimately stays with you.
