If this book were an academic paper and analysis, it would be 10% introduction and methods, combined, 80% results, 5% discussion and 5% conclusion. Loads of detail on examples of extreme right and Q-anon ideas spreading but super light on any analysis of how this appears differently than in the past or how to progress (notwithstanding the great expert interviews in the last chapter). The author also uncritically engages with statistics and data/anecdata which give surface representations of the complex picture. For example, an Australian fringe UAP candidate tweeting radical ideas as an example of Australian uptake (did he get elected? What percentage of the vote did he get? In which electorate?), or the stat that “10 companies account for 80% of CO2 emissions” (yes, when you look at supply, which makes total sense, but what does this mean from a regulatory, a capitalist, a social, or a globalist perspective?). Overall an interesting snapshot of a moment in time, but not a particularly analytical or critical one.

I knew this was going to depress me... and it did. Horrible people and/or victims of the Dunning-Kruger effect are taking over.
I, for one, welcome our new non-vaxxed, nanobot-free, black-pilled, pure human (non-reptilian) overlords who will, surely, take us to the promised land.
