It was like, good but he will talk about all these authors/philosophers/historians and im like ????? do i care/need to care abt whom these ppl are esp cuz some of the stuff seemed so topical at the time? although i guess ecomystics/primitvists are like..anprims or something. but idk if it was kind of like i had to read the works of the people he mentioned to be able to appreciate this book better i kind of wish he didn't include as many quotes as he did. probably seemed a bit too anecdotal. speaking of anecdotal, please cite your statements Bookchin !!! the stuff with like other primates......idk how accurate that was and would like to learn more abt it but no references :( but anyway the last two chapters were on point !! go off, i stan. also really liked the malthusian chapter. some hot, but delicious takes in this book. i would give three and a half stars
