Excellent read. Packs a lot in 230-odd pages - Sillicon Valley, neoliberalism, crisis of the left and emotional history of a baby-boomer Bundesrepublik intellectual.
At times in the first half of the book I wondered what are some lines of inquiry about, but they come together quite well. If anything the genius of the book was to show the relationship between these.
Wittingly or not, Lüscher learned a lesson from Pynchon - to understand a dominant phenomenon you usually need to dive deep one or two generations before. In that sense, Kraft was a perfect way to illuminate the likes of Thiel (only cursory hidden behind Erkner alias).
All in all, hope it gets translated into English. Would be curious to hear a response to the book from the US and the UK.
