Dr. Prescod-Weinstein lays everything out so well but without talking down to you or coming off like she is right and you are wrong. She doesn't claim to have all the answers or to know how to solve everything while still pointing out the very real issues that have to be addressed.
Oh and the physics is pretty interesting but easy to understand (for a neuroscientist at least haha!)
A must read for a academics and folks who want to try to make the world a better place.

Colorism. Eugenics, mentions of forced sterilization. Climate change. Rape and assault are discussed and frankly but not graphically described; a chapter centered around rape includes a content warning in the preface and is able to be skipped.laserdiscreader's review against another edition

(I did dock a star because I found the chapter on gender a bit reductive - I hate the narrative that nonbinary people exist because they are the only ones who object to traditional gender roles and this chapter skirts pretty close to that. Overall though a great read.)
