mjurva 's review for:

The Burnout Society by Byung-Chul Han

3.0

---

I have had an opportunity away from this work, and I concluded it it weak. It lacks data that is readily available and I understand that its immunological analogy is in conversation with that of other authors over the last decade or so. But that analogy is a poor model of the world and it leads to a tortured conclusion that simply leads no where worthy of additional consideration. But within the arena and rules of the sport the argument plays within, it is a fine work. In the end, he presents a false dilemma that fails to be persuasive or true.
