Honest, but the romantization of the peasants is very privileged thing to do. Will definitely read the continuation of this work: The Four Gospels Harmonized and What I Believe.

Indeed describes the main ideas of Dostoyevsky's philosophy and his view of the world. I despise it though.
David van Reybrouck makes an argument for sortition in addition to elections to make the system more legitemate and effective at the same time. Whilst the idea sounds interesting the author does not even conceptually try to analyse the risks of corruption in this new system. Reads more like a short introduction or a pamphlet to the idea.
The tone is quite suspicious, it tries to be provocative and challenging but it just doesn't make any sense to write in this tone if one wants to sell the idea to the politicians. Even the name of the book “Against Elections” is misleading — David van Reybrouck is not against the elections but against using only elections as a means for democracy.

From now on I will approach every obstacle with a reckless scream “Frantiček the Brave!”, I am a kojko with potato-coloured hair and hazel eyes. How can this be so relatable?
“The girl hadn’t hugged him back. How stiff she had seemed, Charlotte, and how straight she had held herself on the heels of her strapped shoes. He doesn’t dare to look at her now; he feels that something has broken in the meantime. It feels like… like something had broken. Such a thing brings to mind the Yugo-Graadian massacre. When the buzz is gone, you’ll find that our difficult nature comes out. After all, we are all kojkos with potato-coloured hair and hazel eyes.”
Feels a bit unfinished structurally but very expanding on the Disco Elysium universe. Must read for every fan of the game. (I've read IBEX translation).
Update: It feels unfinished because it is. It was planned …

Update: It feels unfinished because it is. It was planned as a first book of the series out of 6.
