Brilliant introduction to the topic

Many thanks for your detailed, well researched book. I believe you have covered every aspect of it’s affects in so many different scenarios.
Thank you I very much enjoyed it and could recommend it most definitely.

Very superficial

A very general overview that lacks depth and actual critical analysis, which is ironic, considering it’s a book about cynicism. Essentially, a very long audio version of Wikipedia.
