21st Century Boys
It seems compelling and well-argued, but I don't entirely trust it. A gut reaction that is hard to justify. So let me make some clear points about slovenliness. No index. The DNA data referred to on p9 as 'see p31' is not on p31. Emersion on p84 is I suppose meant to be immersion. For a literacy expert, this author has not done her proof-reading very well.
