★★★☆☆ 3 / 5
Awesome writing style, and some of the chapters are truly fascinating. I didn’t agree with the basic premise of the book, however, so some of the arguments seemed farfetched from the start. Still, it’s worth reading if you want to learn why the 20th century is so different than the previous centuries.
