The book is great for all the reasons everybody has told you, and does an excellent job of presenting Robert Moses in a nuanced and complex way.
What people rarely mention is that Caro is a witty writer, there are intentionally funny passages throughout a book that is often described as "a tome".

There's something poetic about crashing out over being labeled a liberal apologist, on the grounds that you're not saying sorry for anything, and then crashing out a second time because you found out that's not what apologia means @tonygoldmark.bsky.social

hey @tonygoldmark.bsky.social I just want to help clear something up: "Apologia" is a specific thing, it's different from an apology. You mixed up the words, probably because you're in unfamiliar territory.
Apologia - Wikipedia

Dear NZ: fight civil asset forfeiture with everything you have in you. Love, the US
A concorning snippet, here:
"That campaign will receive $5.9 million from the Proceeds of Crime Fund - money taken from criminals - and the Government wants to make it faster for police use the proceeds of crime laws to seize assets from drug dealers."

It's important that we are firm and clear that Elon Musk built a machine to generate nude celebs, then set it loose on a wiki
The first time we see a politician cite to fucking Grokipedia, we all need to mock them for using a website built by the Pornography Robot

Goblin shark uplift squads specialize in boarding operations. Dropping out of vacuum darkness to a wrecked cruiser or derelict station, they rely on their highly developed electrosensory organs to sniff out target signals like blood in the water.

Apart from anything else, It's remarkable how much more readable Wikipedia is.
I look up "Ghislaine Maxwell" or "Jeffrey Epstein", grokipedia gives me a wall of barely-formatted text. I look up "Wheat" and you guessed it: barely-formatted wall of text.
So this is just to trick web crawlers right?

What might happen to someone if they were to consume say, 3lbs of margarine every day for a month?
Just have some extra margarine lying around that I'm hoping to put to good use. If not 3lbs, how much could I eat a day and still be okay? Thank you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vtcm54bmbkuaj32aiqtbvrwu/bafkreibzhetovxcwgpqwitexh7ifjezeywakn2pvrtyzqcxnsi3uov7xeq@jpeg)
