Review of 'Against Method' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A book that would have been perfect for my teenage self, who grew up during the inception of "science" and "debunking" on the Internet. Yet this is an incredibly difficult to read book - especially the middle half which did not initially seem relevant to the argument, as latter half full of references I had not heard of.
