A lot of this is "why I hate short-term politicking, and the politics I am most familiar with is Canadian". Some of the 20th century social history is interesting. The "rah rah rah, I hate Canadians, well not really" does spoil it.
In some ways, this one roasts more than "Why I hate Canadians" but Ian perhaps removes some of the misanthropy, so it's a bit more cheerful. By this book I learned to just browse through the chapters that didn't immediately grab me. You can read in whatever order, any actual references between chapters are referenced.

The thing I enjoyed most about this is that I've read a few different humanx books before but never specifically noticed so much crossover of planets, factions and characters. This one doesn't get as creepy as Bloodhype but does have some lazy writing in it along the lines of "there's no time to explain, let's get on this month-long cruise, where apparently no further character development happens at all".
It's fine, clearly not supposed to be too serious.
Second attempt at this. Maybe I get the references now?
