The book is a collection of excerpted Chomsky interviews over 2010-12. The narrative fleets over contradictory stands of the West over major developments in the Middle East; its ramifications on global US imperialism, downfall of the labor movement, falling standards of US public education system, the Occupy movement and other trends. While the Q&A exchange between Barsamian and Chomsky seems to make a cobbled case over the ominous nature of globally prevalent power systems, it fails to delve into the specifics. Be it the fall of the public education system, the Occupy movement or the impact of social media on conversation, this is a collection of rambling thoughts. Very unlike some of his talks which I have heard online.
