@SallyStrange Love this book, and They Knew was also very good.

@dnkboston@mastodon.social Yeah, I want to read that too.

@SallyStrange I read it when it came out. It's kind of a maddening book, in part because the footnotes or sources get thinner as the book proceeds, I expect out of sheer exasperation, but the rhetorical claims get pretty intense at the same time. Hard to ingest.

@aka_quant_noir@hcommons.social Rhetorical claims? Can you give an example? I'm pretty familiar with Kendzior's opinions via essays and blogs. Curious what you mean.

@SallyStrange

Well it's been a few years so it all seems like rhetoric. But there are some things I remember noting that she was referring to as fact without a reference, particularly later in the book.
