This book has been sitting on my shelf for years. Eric Daniels recommended Graeber to me back when we were working at #Twitter.
The second book by Kushner that I have read. While enjoyable and riddled with small insights and minor profundities, it reads like it was written after finishing a graduate class on the Guy Debord and the Situationist International. Overall though it was a solid read.
I've read her novel "The Flamethrowers" and I dug it, so looking forward to this one.
