| Review Quote | [An] interdisciplinary masterpiece. |
| Other text | If you read one book about contemporary politics this year, make it this one. William Davies is as acute and accurate on the shifts we are enduring as on the deep roots behind contemporary thinking (or not thinking, I should add). |
