Bruno Latour: We Have Never Been Modern (2007, Harvard University Press) 3 stars

Disappointing and muddled

2 stars

I think I agree with Latour's argument, but unfortunately the way in which he chooses to make it is obscure and hard to follow. There is a really interesting analysis buried in some really annoying prose. As someone who has greatly enjoyed many of his other books, this book was a huge disappointment.

I read somewhere that it was intended to be a parody of post-modernist writing. I don't know if that's true, but it certainly reads that way.
