“A MASTERPIECE OF EMPATHY AND OBSERVATION”

In this review in The New York Review of Books, Roderick MacFarquhar gives a detailed review of the book.

For someone who has read MacFarquhar’s works since my teens, this is a dream come true, especially because he so obviously gets the book–the purpose of the ethnographic, granular details, the political implications and the importance of the trend.

As an added bonus, the review is unpaywalled.
