Great storytelling, an interesting conclusion, but really the thesis is more based on wishful thinking than some real analysis. The author, as in most of his books, comes up with an assumption and gives a plethora of examples to prove it. With good arguments, but mostly shown one-sided only. Also, some stories involve some very graphic cases.
As for the storytelling itself - the book is a good read because of how well the stories are being told. It's, by far, the strongest part of this book.
