Because Every Review Needs an Attention-Grabbing Sentence to Quote in Later Reviews

Looks like Sterling Clover's going for a Tibor Fischer (for anyone with the time to read, or skip through, 3,200 pages): "But Rising Up is maddeningly real, at its worst the world's most erudite dorm-room bullshit session given the Cicero treatment and weighed down by numbing cynicism toward belief and hope of all sorts, naive tossing-about of the 'social contract,' irritating misuse of the concept of reification, and an epistemological nightmare of means and ends."
