Democracy May Not Exist, But We'll Miss It When It's Gone by Astra Taylor

3.0

 An interesting premise with a very boring execution. This book was so long and it took a lot of words to explain concepts that could have been more concise. I also don’t think the chapters had a lot of structure or focus on a certain topic. The chapters are framed with juxtaposing concepts (such as freedom/equality and expertise/mass opinion) and really only the first chapter followed through on exploring those concepts as the main focus of the chapter. The rest of the chapters briefly mentioned the concepts at the end to try and tie an otherwise unorganized chapter together. There were definitely a lot of good ideas here but this book lacked structure and purpose, there are definitely better books to read on the topic of democracy.
