Picked this up based on your review and already devouring / loving it. We've needed this kind of techno-utopian / transhumanist takedown for a while now.
For once you are reviewing a book that I not only want to read but am in fact reading right now. And I've got sticky notes all over the place and I'm still on Chapter 3. Yes, your students need to read it.
Well I’m certainly sold. Not so much to learn about these men because I already have a pathological need to know what these buttheads get up to, but intelligent take down of them and their stupid ideas? My mental health could really use that right now 😅.
Thanks for the suggestion. Dunking on people who think they are smarter than they are is always a fun read. Especially when they have a cult following (I mean that literally for lots of these people).
I just picked this book up for a long trip I’m taking and it doesn’t disappoint!
Thank you. Almost sounds like my novels in convenient non-fiction expository format. I'm going to call my bookstore now & see if they have it in stock. I'm flying out to Silicon Valley 2 days from now & need something to read on the plane. (P.S. Wish me luck. I haven't been to that part of the world in ten years. Hope I don't have some kind of PTSD experience.)

sure you wouldn't rather call it the Moldbug Problem? Has a nice ring to it IMO.
Yes, ‘The Mold’.

My apartment is overflowing and my kids can't see the floor. I had told myself that I was done buying books.
Damn you, Dave.
