Ahmet Alphan Sabancı and 1 other person liked Jay's review of Immediacy: Or, The Style of Too Late Capitalism: "Not gonna lie, this book was a real struggle. But I'm interested in work that's gonna come from people who found this book inspiring. Just know if you're reading on kindle, the end is at 60% the rest is footnotes and the index."
