As someone who has worked in some of the industries he describes, there is so much wrong or flat out untrue in this book. He draws connections that are not there, and makes tenuous connections at best for the most part, when they do exist.

His history skips over facts and actually repeats wikipedia-level research that is untrue. This was not a well-researchd book, and I dont know how peer-reviewed it was by people who could attest to things. There is a very clear political/policy drive to the book. It is a book written with an agenda, not simply to inform. Sometimes, when authors do that, confirmation bias gets to them.

However, I didn't get past about page 80-90, so it may have cleared up later.
