For the Win by Cory Doctorow
3.0
This is really a 3.5 for me than a 3. This book could be considered propaganda by some because it seems very obvious in the stance and politics that the author wants to get across. It also contains a lot of good lessons about how economics works on some levels and seems like an early teenage version of an explainer of the financial crisis of 08.
The main problem I have is that the book is overly long and doesn't really have an ending. It's more like a prestige film that just Peters out. I think it would have been a stronger ending if it wrapped up a bit stronger. However, in favor of the ending and the tone of the hook, you get to see that revolutions are hard, workers need to band together and some of the leaders won't see the finish line unfortunately.
