Incredibly good. Much more than just about the UBI, instead it uses it as an index to track entire shifting landscapes of political economy and attitudes towards it. Very US-UK focused so far though, waiting for the 'global' to really kick in.

Sad. I'm so sad after reading this book, which is about UBI, but is also actually about our capacities to dream and imagine a world other than this, and the diminution of those dreams into a matter of merely surviving the world we've been given. More words to come.
