challenging funny informative reflective slow-paced

3.5

I was excited to read this, but it ended up taking a long time to get through. Although there were shining moments that felt thought provoking and affirming in some way (The I in Internet, Ecstasy, The Story of a Generation in Seven Scams), topics seemed bloviated - ones that are already generously discussed - without adding anything new or pertinent. 

Reading this, albeit different than I expected, was still reflective and engaging at times. I think I’ll better screen the next book of essays I attempt.
