That is one hell of a review. Thanks for the link.
His TED take-down is pure gold, too: http://www.newrepublic.com/article/books-and-arts/magazine/1....
I submitted his book review a while ago, if people want to discuss it at length. I imagine it'll ruffle the feathers of no small amount of people on HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5346781. :)
BTW the New Republic has a beautifully clean reading UI - the site has the same feel of Instapaper or ReadItLater - seems like they decided 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.'
