Summary
A Delicate Balance of Reason is an observational critique of the contemporary 'culture wars' through the eyes of someone who has experienced the full weight of their effects firsthand. Flashpoint topics such as the trans debate, academic free speech, cancel culture and 'presentism' in art and literature are all covered; elsewhere there are more gonzo-esque, snapshot takes - caught, tidied up, and delivered with algorithmic immediacy.
Taking the observational works of P.J. O'Rourke, Clive James and Julie Burchill as touchstones, from progressive leftist origins via the juggernaut of tech to the neurotic shapeshifting of now, A Delicate Balance... attempts to locate the sane human in the midst of relentlessly disorientating identity politics.
