A review by niniane
Hope in the Dark by Rebecca Solnit

3.0

After the first 20%, I started skimming it. It feels dated, since it refers to events of 2003 at length.

the pattern of the essays is that they describe a large number of depressing events, and then argue why we should have hope -- because we still made one piece of progress, or because things could always turn around. Unfortunately we now know how some of those things turned out, and many turned out poorly. So this book does not have a huge amount of credibility.
