Emily Conway

NOT the full version (and a rather alienating narration)

Revisado: 01-27-23

Without any indication there if, this seems to be an abridged version. The story seems thin and disjointed in parts and the sections cut in and out with unnecessary and distracting music intros and outros. If you’re interested in this story, do yourself a favor and find the 12+ hour version.

Beyond the abridged aspect, the author’s biases bleed through and color what would otherwise seem like a well-researched book. The author’s disdain of any non-western European scientists is both obvious and disappointing. Quite frankly, it seemed like the author would have been in favor of indefinitely continuing the Chinese Exclusion Act.

I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt and hoping that this abridged version omits important context that would make this book seem less like a history lecture by the type of man that would still unironically use the phrase “the White Man’s Burden.”
