William Davies, N+1, Stupidology:
To many of us, the central problem is that we live not so much in a time of lies, as one of stupidity. This diagnosis has credibility across the political spectrum.
Fintan O'Toole, NYRB, The Lingering Delusion:
Harris’s book seems more a symptom of distress than a diagnosis of the disorders that have brought American democracy into mortal danger. It is a series of flashbacks to a bad trip, the replaying in her mind of an ultimately traumatic experience.
