Review of 'Red Pill' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

The journey of a liberal academic family-man into the nebulous ideas of the alt-right, which in a subtle way portrays those ideas as a form of insanity. This is actually the most insightful thing I've read about the alt-right and its quasi-fascism, and it mirrors a lot of the existential unease that I think a lot of people felt after 2016.

Kunzru also writes incredible prose and the story is as bizarre as it is enjoyable, with a strangely satisfying ending.
