I enjoyed the other book that I received from netgalley in this series, but unfortunately I've just completely lost interest in trying out this one. I'm sure it's a great book but I just won't be getting around to it any time soon.

Ostensibly a book on risk filtered through the lens of the pandemic, this slim volume felt like it was careening from topic to topic. I finally decided that it wasn't really a book on COVID risk, but was instead a general introduction to how philosophers and societies have approached conceiving of, classifying, and mitigating risks. If I had come to the book with that idea in mind it might have felt like a more coherent introductory survey.

Such an interesting book, really leaves the reader contemplating the reality of risk in everyday life.

Would recommend to anyone having a bit of an existential crisis and looking to really deep dive into things.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.
