Reader of a wide range of genres, including a lot of non-fiction. I’m an active member of a sci-fi book club and occasional attendee at a post-apocalyptic book club.

Trying this out as an alternative and hopefully replacement for Goodreads, though I'm posting on both sites at the moment.

I don't follow from here, my main Fediverse account is: @pwaring@fosstodon.org

Interesting but US bias

3 stars

The general points in this book are interesting, but let down somewhat by a US bias (e.g. that health insurance problems can't be solved because of selection, even though sensible countries have universal state-provided cover funded by taxation).
