There's a long, thoughtful and nicely written piece in the current edition of the London Review of Books. It assesses two books - Game Changer, and a book I don't know on the last WC match.
Very well worth the read. LRB is paywalled, but this should be accessible in full to non-subscribers

I didn't use my login initially; hence, discovered you get three 'free' articles/month. I assume this applies to non-regular users. Hope soJustinHorton wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2019 9:06 pmI'm not sure it is, as I had to use my login to read beyond the first few paragraphs

Can't agree.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.
