I am unable to give a fair review because Eric Cantona is the greatest man who ever lived.

The stuff about translation is pretty interesting but when I read the word ‘Waterstones' in a book I mentally check out.

I kind of enjoyed how stupid this was and how it was very aware there was no reason for it existing... but it still shouldn't.

I have absolutely no idea what to think of this book.

Most of the science (by all accounts) isn't great but the topics themselves deserve a bigger platform. Which, with the way this book is gaining publicity recently, looks like it may well happen. It's that sort of An Inconvenient Truth thing.

Renewable being essentially summed up with “I don't think this will work” and not much else to back it is grating.

Then there's the fact it's incredibly short and at times feels like a prequel to Cormac McCarthy's The Road - that level of bleakness.

This is a 3 stars that is probably more of a 2.5.
