The Death of Expertise: The Campaign Against Established Knowledge and Why It Matters by Tom Nichols

4.0

This was a very good book. I laughed a lot, worried a lot, and came away thinking I might not know anything about what I believe. I think it’s a book that a lot of people should read, but the tone seems like it’s directed toward people who already know this “death of expertise” is a problem. For those that the author describes—the Dunning-Krueger people, for example, the tone and facts presented won’t convince them to have more open minds or to doubt their certitudes. So, four stars, but you don’t have to listen to my review; I’m no expert.
