4.0

Parts of this book genuinely made me snort or laugh out loud; we've really done messed up in a lot of ways and the way Phillips describes those screw-ups is amazing. Surprisingly my favourite chapter was the one on science! The way he describes what science is and also learning about Thomas Midgley was fascinating!

Overall a decent read but I have a feeling I'm going to forget a lot of the stories that were told (which I guess is why we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again).
