But What If We're Wrong? Thinking About the Present As If It Were the Past by Chuck Klosterman
funny

3.75
3.75/4
The overall premise here is really interesting, and something that resonates with me as a person who grew up in a strict southern Baptist environment with a very “this is right and this isn’t,” worldview. I love Klosterman’s personality- I think it’s one of his strengths as a writer- but I feel like we lose that a lot in this book. The moments where he’s talking about how we collectively perceive culture are really strong.
Overall, thought provoking and fun, if a little redundant at times.
