Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed by Jared Diamond

3.0

Reading this felt like sitting through the longest TED talk ever. Seemed like the author was aware of his long-windedness but just said "fuck it" and kept on going. I have a new-found appreciation of editors, as whole sections of this book could have been eliminated and the point of the book (which I was into) would not have been lost or lest nuanced. I heard right after I finished this that the audiobook of this was abridged- if you're thinking of reading this, maybe just go for the audiobook instead...
