Most books written by politicians right after an election are recaps that add only a thin veneer of personality to regurgitation of party platform。 This book is not that。 That’s not to say it’s free of politics， but it’s free of the feeling that someone is trying to sell you something。 Even if you’re not a supporter of Andrew Yang or universal basic income， Yang’s funny and authentic retelling of his experience running for president is fascinating。 This book continues the dialogue Yang started w Most books written by politicians right after an election are recaps that add only a thin veneer of personality to regurgitation of party platform。 This book is not that。 That’s not to say it’s free of politics， but it’s free of the feeling that someone is trying to sell you something。 Even if you’re not a supporter of Andrew Yang or universal basic income， Yang’s funny and authentic retelling of his experience running for president is fascinating。 This book continues the dialogue Yang started with his previous two books。 In Forward， his concern about automation and the economy evolves to include barriers established by our political system and media coverage。 He uses his experiences as a “longer than longshot” candidate to illustrate how convoluted our politics and media really are。I listened to the audio version of this book， which is narrated by Yang。 He’s a good writer， but his personality comes out best when speaking。 He’s easy to listen to， and I audibly laughed at times。 He digs into the moments that look like manufactured campaign promotion and highlights the fact that when the cameras turn off， politicians are humans too。 He’s emotionally invested in the people he talks about and the ideas he presents。 It’s evident that Yang earnestly strives for a better future。 His own status within that future is secondary。Thank you to Penguin Random House for the advance copy。 This book was released today， October 5。 。。。more
