Not All Dead White Men

💯 This book is wonderfully researched. The subject matter was darker than I expected from the playful nature of the title and the book cover. I walked away from this book with a stack of notes, a few things I'd like to read to supplement the material covered in the book and a better understanding of the alt-right than I was prepared for. 

😐 As a fan of Stoic authors like Aurelius, Seneca and Epictetus, it was difficult to hear how their intent has been grossly misinterpreted. This book was worthwhile for the critical examination of Stoic thought and the reminder of the perils possible when attempting a poorly informed interpretation of ancient thought for the modern world. 

🦋 The book was heavy on “this is the problem” and very light on “and here's what can be done about it”. As a result: by the end of the book, the reader is left feeling that the future is a bit bleak.

⚠️ TW: Some of the descriptions in the book are very graphic. Read with care.
