This is a book of confirmation bias for me, which I ought to be wary of. It's not the most empirically thorough book, and basically uses only the good stories of how people act during disasters to say that's how most people act.

Reads a little like David Graeber to me, not comprehensive and thorough with its theories, but discusses a lot of varied and interesting ideas (Dorothy Day+Catholic Worker, anarchism, etc.)

Not gonna finish this before the Libby loan expires. Supremely interesting but very dense. Look forward to revisiting in the future
