About half a decade since I picked this book up and then put it down again in frustration during the depths of COVID, I come back to it again, humbler, and a little more patient. This isn't an easy book to parse. Its prose is studded with lots of ideas to parse. Not at all the quirky manic pixie girl book that it had seemed to me at first

Once again, some anthropologists confirm for me they are more preoccupied with masturbatory, post-structuralist mumbo jumbo than actually *getting to the point*. How many times can you throw the word "capitalist" around? Watch this space!

Frankly, im not very optimistic about a book with sentences like "alienation obviates living-space entanglement", and longer sentences like that. But we shall see.
