I also had a hard time getting through it based on the chapter structure. This is obviously a very “personal” problem, but I’m big on timing my reading sessions per chapter(s) and this book made it impossible to do that (maybe on purpose) but most of the chapters were incredibly long.
I do think this topic is insanely important. And the questions and considerations this books makes are important, thought provoking, and honestly a little scary sometimes.
Overall, I did like the book a lot, but you definitely need to be in a very specific mindset to read it.
