Regarding the Pain of Others by Susan Sontag
challenging
dark
informative
reflective
sad
slow-paced
still so relevant, 20 years after being published. war and history is cyclical & people are still figuring out ways to compartmentalize the atrocities. Sontag’s predictions about the future of news and online information are spot on.
