Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

In the midst of today's new Woke-infused cultural revolution comes Cynical Theories, written by two authors, James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose, with a long history of exposing critical theory for the unscientific fraud it is. If you're bewildered by the terms you see thrown about around you on a daily basis in the media - critical race theory, unlearning, colonialism, lived experience etc... then this is the book for you. Lindsay and Pluckrose hoist the entire subject on its own petard and not only do they do that - they salt the earth from which they pulled it. And they do so with great elegance and humor - these are not two grim and humorless barbarians, shrieking into the night. No, they're humorous and learned and they make this experience a joyous one. One reason Lindsay and Pluckrose's enemies have had such a hard time drawing a bead on them is that in contrast to themselves, Lindsay and Pluckrose are funny - their humor infuses what could be a very dry subject all throughout the book. Buy it, read it and give it to friends when done - this is one for the ages.
