The Light that Failed: A Reckoning by Ivan Krastev

3.0

Have you ever read a book and thought: the authors didn’t have to put too much work into it because they were already famous, so they got an easy deal?
This is very much that. Some interesting thoughts, but they could’ve used a few more rounds of edits. The imitation metaphor felt artificial and overstretched, too little convincing structure and coherent arguments, some contradictory statements and a random mix of topics, thoughts, stories - just what famous people can allow themselves to publish and still sell many copies.
