there's a bunch of scientific exaggeration and inaccuracy but it was still quite enjoyable to read and think about.

Not nearly as engaging or critically thoughtful as Bridle’s NEW DARK AGE. I was looking for more analyses of power but Bridle seems to fall back mostly on a “folk politics” of a sort and offers no real suggestions for how that folk politics overcomes real exercised power.

Absolutely fascinating and a little mind-blowing. Most of this was new information to me, save for bits and pieces here and there about mushrooms, Alan Truing, Plouie the Wolf… but yeah, wow. There’s a lot to take in, yet the major theme (interconnectedness) resonated to me and was quite clear despite the variety of diverse exploration in these chapters. Perhaps because I lean toward buddhist I was more open to what’s being posited, here, but I found it stunning and compelling. I’m looking at the world quite differently.
