Astra Taylor: The people's platform (2014, Metropolitan Books)

From a cutting-edge cultural commentator and documentary filmmaker, this work is a bold and brilliant …

Outdated and Unfocused

The book lacks focus and fails to deliver on the promise of its title. With a subtitle like 'taking back power and culture' I was expecting more of a manifesto, instead I got an unfocused spattering of different issues and their diagnoses, but no offer of how to 'take back'

On top of all that, the issues brought up are a bit anachronistic given it was published over a decade ago. I give three stars since the book is informative and well written, but otherwise, I was not a fan.
