Black Pill

This book is so frightening, so timely, so important. I love Elle Reeve's writing and reporting style, which opens a window into who these hateful people really are, and where their sick worldview comes from. I remember watching her Charlottesville coverage at the time, in the brief moment when Vice was doing unique and valuable journalism, and finding it compelling. Her long-term communication with many of the subjects is clear, and really pays off in the insights she's able to deliver in this book.

While super well-written and well-reported, the book is also disturbing and upsetting, especially in the context of the recent election. Was occasionally tough to get through, and I absolutely needed several palette cleanser rom-com novels during and after reading it.
