If there was a 2.5 stars option I'd give it to this book. Interesting topic and there were some decent insights here. However the (at least to me) the interesting stuff was interspersed throughout a much longer, meandering narrative that could have benefited from being condensed. Maybe I'm missing a key point and need to learn to lengthen my attention span but I think this book would have been better as an article or an essay.
