As usual Snowden, America’s Freedom Laureate in exile, gets right to the heart of things. I do worry that his laser focus on the philosophy of things —and concomitant lack of specific (contemporary) detail/examples— will result in readers simply affirming their own dogmas rather than searching themselves for complicity. I hold out hope that, in the aggregate, the deeply subversive undercurrent of his writing pulls those dogmas under and drowns them to death.
