book of love

This galactic disturbance allowed neoliberalism to firmly take hold, such that now
the only relevant distinctions between people are levels of disposable income and whether they wear Bluetooth earpieces.
If you find that tantalising, then read the whole thing. It's a review, via
Bookforum, of ten overrated (by the reviewer) books.

My review of the review is to say that I think the sentence I've pulled out above is the best.

Have I ever mentioned that I like jazz?
