While reading this I realised that prior, despite how much we talk about facism and antifa, I would not have been able to explain exactly what makes facism exactly facism, and now I can which feels very empowering. Extremely well written -- not too jargony as to be hard to follow and super clear in its x to y to z of how alt right figures develop. I found it especially enlightening wrt why things like paganism, occultism, and folk are so appealing to and rife with fascists. Very good ground work read and very much recommend.

I really like the first two if this trilogy but there were so many spots in this one where the interactions and tone just felt odd, especially in Binti's reaction to things, and the love interest really felt just stuck on. Still happy to finish the trilogy but this one fell flat where I was happy to defend the first two against critique.

Super boring and mostly about like, how target and other corporations exploit us using our habits and not in a critical way. I don't care teach me how to not drink 4 cups of coffee a day god that's all I want

i am sorry if you don't care for martian geology you are wrong

There's about a third, I'd say, of this book that leans super heavily on "democracy! we can change things from inside!" that I found a bit trying, especially given the Current Situation and the Situation We Just Went Through but it's a collection of essays so I was very happy I stuck through those for the wider voices. The balance of voices was very broad, and in particular I found the essays about living with grief as well as the poems interspersed brought something I haven't seen much of before.
