Stylistically interesting, and I admire the story being told in between the written lines of the story; big "I hate everybody in this TV show" watching Sex in the City from the year of our Lord 2026 energy.

Easy and enjoyably consumable. Finished it in two sittings, which is kind of incredible for my deteriorating brain these days. Leans a bit too heavily into speculation, includes jump scare detours to talk about the 2016 elections.

Lighthearted and compulsively readable. Really fun book.

Disappointing. Fascinating topic presented with a lot of fabulist thinking, limited historical detail and the sort of charming aside that really only works if it really is an aside. I feel like I spent more time learning about the author's imagination and travel than getting any clear understanding of the topic, and in the end, the conclusion he reaches feels unearned in the context of the information he's provided.

Gorgeously written and brilliantly researched. The gut punch transition from the joyful equity of Genghis Khan’s original rule and the hellish cruelty and incompetence of his sons was hell to read. Really really fantastic book.
