What I found most interesting about The End of Everything is that the book aligns better with Trump's rhetoric (the "fake news" of apocalpse, the uselessness of global institutions, a cynical anti-establishment mood) than with someone like e.g. Hillary Clinton's ideals (e.g. the rules based order and that well-crafted policy by experts can overcome global disaster), even though the author specifically wrote it to criticize the very mindset that Trump represents. Our politics are broken
