Ok but too detailed on small points of history rather than a general overview of the big idea.

I'll blame this more on the audiobook narrator who had a bland narration.

I was baited by the tile towards a deep dive into the Spanish revolution without having no prior knowledge of it.
It fel like I was at the table with a really smart and knowledgeable person who kept talking and talking with so much passion that I felt awkward to interrupt him and say that I don’t really have the context of what he’s talking about.
For what I expected to be a surface-level introduction to anarchism, it turned out to be way more specific and nuanced, so I was mislead by the tile and sort of disappointed to be honest.
slow-paced

As my first introduction to essays, Chomsky really impressed me. Reading a well articulated display of ideologies I previously hadn't known much about was incredibly interesting and enlightening. Most usefully, I found things I myself have considered before laid out in understandable and clear ways.
