Very dry prose and incoherent, I had heard about the first chapter and it is indeed the best part of the book and was the main reason I decided to listen to the rest. The momentum from that chapter was good enough to push me through half of the book during which very little happened. But by then sunken cost kicked in and I figured I might as well finish it.
Alot of ideas already haven’t aged well. Very much memory-holed in 2020.
