A good but ultimately little frustrating read. Yes, the points raised are valid as are their specific examples. Where I ended up frustrated was the idea that scientists--who kind of caused the problem (or at least didn't recognize the problem for a long time), being the ones who will fix the problem. I was not left convinced that their solution would work. ( )

It all boils down to humans are emotional, social, random animals, not rational, reasonable predictable models.

I'm giving this two stars not because I disagree with anything they had to say, I just found it a bit dull. I wanted some new insight and thought from it but I'm left in exactly the same place. Except I know another book that says lots of things I agree with but hasn't helped my thoughts develop any further.

They probably deserve more than two stars. But fuck it, I'm being miserable today. ( )
