This is a good current events book about the upcoming 2016 election. It focuses on millennials becoming more politically engaged so as to salvage the country from the two party system which Libertarians generally agree is the main cause of America taking away individual rights. Tate is a good solid writer and I got my money's worth from her 260 pages of commentary and analysis.
Tate is very sharp witted and does some TV work and usually wins points of debate on the topics she holds court over. She doesn't often stray from her base of knowledge.
This is the first book I've read (or bought) that had no actual written works in the notes and therefore no real bibliography. All the citations are from online sources. Tate does quote or allude to actual books in the text but all supporting appartatus is to digital content.
This is the first book I've read by a Libertarian, so I didn't know what to expect. Tate says that most Libertarians don't approve of her points of view and have offically excluded her from party gatherings. That this has not stopped her from continuing to promote Libertarian political principles makes me see her as credible and an independant thinker. I don't personally know any Libertarians, but those on news shows tend to disagree among themselves anyway, proving Tate's point.
Although Tate is big on using social media she reveres Zuckerberg. That's fine except that she also notes that China is also the closest to 1984 totalitarianism and Zuckerberg helps the Chinese Communist Party to surveil their own people. He sees helping repress the Chinese people as valid to promote his Facebook product.
Tate's book is very interesting but I don't think she has thought out all of her political science positions completely yet. She's definitely smart enough to handle anything in global philosopical theory, she's just not there yet.
She's a little hard on the defense department when she means the Pentagon but she is right to increase care and monetary assistance to all veterans. She finds easy targets in Obamacare and Common Core.
