"While I often dislike popular science books (as I have previously expressed), I do find this one more enjoyable. While the emphasis still rests far from science (at least as I prefer reading about it), this book does an excellent job of touching upon the ways science (specifically phys and chem) are used for exploitation, atrocities, and other oppressive forces, particularly at the hands of Western, colonial nations." — Oct 21, 2026 08:09AM

"While this is quite harsh, from what little I’ve read, I do not like this book. I understand the balance between scientific accuracy and readability is delicate. However, I don’t feel as though this book strikes its balance. Nor do I find it interesting. Leaving it with little good going on. Perhaps I shall change my mind as I continue." — Sep 09, 2026 04:45PM
