A mindblowing and poetic critique of modern alienation and mediation interwoven with history lessons (capped with a history of history), attacks on various Marxist and anarchist factions, and sections of such obtuseness I'm still not sure if the fault was mine or the book's. Still, more genius per page than the leading brand and it looks good in a cafe.

Too academic and abstract
challenging informative slow-paced

I have a hard time recommending this book. On one side it is informative and relevant in the context of modernity, social media, advertisment and influncers. On the other side it is extremely hard to read and follow the arguments of the author. One take away is that modern capitalism sells us the idea of real and authentic experience because these experience have been made impossible within modern society.
