Thank you so much for doing these book reviews. I think the idea of Asterisk is great, and I also enjoy many of the articles. I found this post now because I was asking myself why I have heard so little about the project and I also haven´t seen the articles discussed at great lengths either in EA circles or outside, even though at least some of them are really good.
Have you or someone else considered doing reviews of the other issues?
Thanks for the kind message Jon :) I actually have the third one sitting as a draft right now, and hadn’t put the last little bit in because I wasn’t sure of the value, but I’ll go ahead and finish that one up. I’d love to continue reviewing, but I’d have to see if they ship to other countries, I picked up the first three at an EAGx. Highly encourage you to leave your thoughts on them as a comment here, think that could be helpful if you’re interested!
Executive summary: The review gives asterisk #2 a rating of 5⁄10, finding the content above average but issues with lack of coherent theming across articles.
Key points:
The content quality was good, but the theming and flow between articles felt disjointed.
Standout articles included ones on plant-based meat, alcohol research, global health, and forecasting. Weaker ones lacked depth or relevance to theme.
The serious academic tone lacked the fun, weird articles from the first issue. More visuals are needed.
The community has invested significant funding into asterisk, so reviews are important for gauging if it is worth continuing.
Overall a work in progress with potential, but needs more coherent themes tying articles together in a unique way.
