Engineering or Authoritarianism? Breakneck Book Review (Sinobabble Book club)

Unpopular opinions lie ahead

**This livestream was recorded on Tuesday 27th January 2026**

We discuss the book Breakneck by Dan Wang. A huge hit towards the end of 2025, we talk about whether the hype is merited, the strengths and weaknesses of his narrative, and whether or not his ideas stand up to scrutiny. At the end, we (and by we, I mean I) ramble about the Three Body Problem trilogy for 10 minutes.
