Masters of Atlantis

4.5 Stars
No real plot to be spoken of here, rather almost a history of a gang of idiots making things up as they go along. Popper's monologues in the last 1/4 of the book are absolutely hysterical. This has a lot to say about the conspiracy/QAnon/Confirmation Bias culture of today where everyone is an expert in something just because they say they are and have a platform. Books don't get written much this way anymore. Really glad I read it. I'm sure I'll return at some point in the future when things feel as bleak as they do now. I know then it will help me remember that we're all just a bunch of self-deluded dummies looking for meaning in the void.
