An interesting story turned into a dry book about bureaucracy.

Poorly written and poorly argued. I wanted to like this book but it turned out to be repetitive and without substance. Sad, because we do need a much better discussion around metrics.

An amazing book that puts Columbus and the “discovery” of the new world by genocidal maniacs into context. You should skip the last two chapters, they might as well be from another book. A pretty crazy one.

The best argument for higher taxes and a wealth tax. An absurd waste of money while most of society suffers.

Useful, worth a read, but written in a repetitive and tiring manner with shady statistics.

While the original was an adventure story the sequel is driven by really terrible technobabble. Everything that made the first book good is gone.

Some of the short stories a kind of a drag, but good overall.

I wish the democratic party would read this book.

Exposing the sadism of the US-Mexico border and those who would rather see people die than cross it.

I love the topic and agree with the message. The book is too lightly researched and relies far too much on the same anecdotes over and over again to make the same repetitive points. Would have been great at 100 pages instead of 300.

Making a fascinating topic about as interesting as a shopping list.

A terrifying view into a dystopian future that we're blindly walking into.

Explains why both extreme environmentalists and free-market extremists sound crazy, how we got here, and why it's so hard to make any meaningful progress.

Love the documentaries. The book reads less like a novel and more like the notes from a TV script.

Very interesting and extremely well researched. A complete mess when it comes to the actual writing and structure of the book.

The first 90% is great. The last 10% is nationalist drivel.

A laundry list of well-known facts buried in a disjointed and aimless narrative following a boring narrator.

Really a pymc tutorial. Read with students over the summer school. Lots of misinformation and many mistakes to be a real book about probabilistic programming.

Like watching a Bond movie. Irrational characters doing crazy things for no reason but there's a lot of action.

Interesting book. Painfully repetitive.
