Due to a sudden, unexpected passing in the family a few years ago and another more recently and my subsequent (mental) health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for several years after the bereavements. This meant I didn't read or venture onto netgalley for years as not only did it remind me of that person as they shared my passion for reading, but I also struggled to maintain interest in anything due to overwhelming depression. I was therefore unable to download this title in time and so I couldn't give a review as it wasn't successfully acquired before it was archived. The second issue that has happened with some of my other books is that I had them downloaded to one particular device and said device is now defunct, so I have no access to those books anymore, sadly.

This means I can't leave an accurate reflection of my feelings towards the book as I am unable to read it now and so I am leaving a message of explanation instead. I am now back to reading and reviewing full time as once considerable time had passed I have found that books have been helping me significantly in terms of my mindset and mental health - this was after having no interest in anything for quite a number of years after the passings. Anything requested and approved will be read and a review written and posted to Amazon (where I am a Hall of Famer & Top Reviewer), Goodreads (where I have several thousand friends and the same amount who follow my reviews) and Waterstones (or Barnes & Noble if the publisher is American based). Thank you for the opportunity and apologies for the inconvenience

Really smart, provocative and actually great reading ... the robust segmentation always elicits reaction in me! Not always in agreement ..but humour and allusions to ideas and other writers .. always engaging .. highly recommend

I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review from Netgalley.

Unless you're familiar with reading philosophical papers or philosophy text, I highly suggest you skip this one. If you're familiar with the way philosophical reading can sometimes be, this presents some very interesting premises and a good discussion. However, there are some sections I do question the method of execution in explanation. Overall, this was a well researched and clearly delineated discussion.

I've been a quasi-fan of Zizek for a long time, fascinated with his way of thinking, yet mainly looking from the outside, however, "Hegel in a wired brain" has both some interesting points made here and there, and some buried beneath verbose padding.
