I wanted to love this book. It is full of dazzling ideas and interesting threads to pull at, but around the halfway point I had to accept that it wasn't going to do much about any of them. I found it very chaotic and unfocused, not because it switches perspectives or doesn't answer questions - no, it felt more like an idea pitched, a heap of intrigue with not much else behind it. In the end, it just wasn't for me.
