The Social Distance Between Us: How Remote Politics Wrecked Britain by Darren McGarvey
5.0
This book will radicalise you - change is necessary and possible.
It's original, harrowing, beautifully written, very well argued, and extremely quotable. The thesis is clear and clever, and there's a big range of sources - lived experience, reportage, academic, current affairs, et al. He's very honest about himself, and aware of his legitimacy to tell some stories given the partial, though importantly relevant, experiences he's been through.
His other book and Reith Lectures were brilliant, and this is indispensable
