This is tricky. Some of the chapters I would rate a 5, some of them a 1. Like the New Yorker articles that this collects, if the topic is something that I'm not already innately interested in, the writing needs to do some work to get me there. These ones didn't do it.
I feel like if the subject themselves aren't complex or interesting on their own, this author wasn't able to craft something of worth.
That said, at least half of the chapters were great. For those, I would recommend this book.
