Title: Sloppy, sensationalized right-wing propaganda
Review: As an attendee of Stanford during the same years as Sacks and Thiel, I shared many of their concerns with the shifting standards of educational practice and the possible consequences on the quality of undergraduate learning. This book, however, does nothing to further this debate, rather it stands as a shameless piece of yellow journalism that radically distorts the facts of the situation. The great majority of the footnotes in this book are to the Stanford Review, a "newspaper" that is a laughing stock in the Stanford community, and the majority of articles within were written by Sacks, Thiel, or one of their close friends. Nepotistic, overblown, and amateurish, this volume would shame the bookshelf of any respectable student of education in America.
