Collection of hopeful interviews from life 'after the insurrection' and the end of capitalism. It's very much a wish-fulfilment fantasy book. Fun in-between read.

While the whole 'yet another diversion' is funny, it gets tired after a while. Some interesting bits, a few good observations about his own times and experiences,but ultimately dated and not all that interesting to me.

This book is essentially a collection of general life advice from one particular person. This means that there definitely are some helpful tips, but the generalizations that the author makes are often overstated. Read this for some inspiration and ideas, not for definitive answers.

While the subject itself was entirely new to me and very interesting, the way this book was written was a bit off putting. It's written as a series of disconnected chapters where the author meets people from the Bishnoi community, but there's little explanation on who and what this religion is. No map, numbers or all-round overview of the religion is given. Just tidbits strewn across the 18 chapters. The dedicated Bishnoi themselves seem very admirable people, but how widespread is their dedication in the community? The differences with the Jains are mentioned but never truly explained. Little lessons offered for non-Bishnoi. Also: can you become Bishnoi or not? Both possibilities are mentioned. A bit messy and disappointing, as a whole.
