What a journey. I didn’t take any hard lessons away from this text, but was very happy being told a long, meandering story that weaves topics in and out. It’s also nice to have some exposure to history that uses happenings to further a philosophical argument (à la The 48 Laws of Power) instead of only focusing on the historical significance. Plus, I found the narrator selection for the audiobook to be a great match for the subject matter, which is rare to find. Highly recommend as a listen.
