This was a book that, despite effectively not reading books anymore, I was always going to read. I have found Jeff Sharlet’s work to be indispensable in today’s America. It strikes me as the type of work that people think is overblown in its conclusions.

I avoided this for a while. There were a couple reasons, all of which added up to avoidance because I was afraid I wouldn’t get it. I read the book, admittedly half-assedly, so not really at all, a couple decades ago. I remembered enough about it to get the main point without much nuance. It was also a super intriguing concept, and I was drawn to Kafka after The Metamorphosis already. So, this has always stuck with me as something to explore more deeply.

The Grand Prismatic Spring is something I could look at all day.
