It's a manifesto, all right.
I didn't realize it was advertised on the back cover as a manifesto. I came to this conclusion on my own, about a quarter of the way into the book, when the paleo effexors were talking about Morris's human zoo, the flashing rectangles we spend most of our time with, and the endless gauntlet of federal psyops that control the way we eat, exercise, think, and vaccinate.
I was like "Woo lads, this diet book is a few degrees south of being a call for open and armed insurrection. I thought it was going to be like, about how omega 3s are good for your brain, and exciting ways to prepare yams. Nope. It's about the Industrial Revolution and Its Consequences, and they're doin a whole lot of Shall Not Be Infringed in here, too."
Which is not to say I disliked it! I agreed with most of what they said, even if they sounded like absolute goddamn loons saying it. Wonder what that says about me. Overall, confirmed most of my favorite biases and gave me a new way of looking at early morning creative work, for which I'm in their debt.
My only note would be that they went a little heavy into the trauma dumping, and that on top of the rallying cry for neoaustralopithecine Sons of Liberty could be a turnoff for some less contrarian and/or less based individuals.
