  1. Anchit Ambesh –

    A thought-provoking read, but sometimes the Marxist jargon felt a bit dense. Some essays were truly brilliant, others less so. Overall, an interesting perspective.

  2. Akarshita Shukla –

    It’s a bit too academic for my liking, and some points felt repetitive. I appreciated the different viewpoint, but I struggled to get through it.

  3. Dipankar Adhikari –

    While intellectually stimulating, it can be hard to digest if you’re not familiar with Marxist theory. Some concept are difficult to understand.

  4. Sahil Ahuja –

    Provocative and insightful, though sometimes bogged down in theoretical language. Still, a valuable contribution to understanding biology in its social context.

  5. Shiv Sharma –

    This book is heavy going but incredibly rewarding. It forced me to think critically about the social and political implications of biological research.

  6. Shubham Pruthi –

    A complex and rewarding book. Be prepared for a dense, academic style. If you’re interested in the intersection of biology and social justice, this is for you.

  7. Abhishek Kumar Nishad –

    Challenging and insightful. This book broadened my understanding of the interconnectedness of biology, agriculture, and society. Highly recommended.

  8. Kashish Singh –

    An interesting but uneven collection of essays. Some are brilliant, others are repetitive. A good starting point for understanding dialectical biology.

  9. Siddhant –

    I found some of the arguments a bit dated. However, the book still offers valuable insights into the limitations of reductionist science. Worth reading but know what to expect.

  10. Shishank –

    I really enjoyed the book. It made me think critically about how science is used and who it benefits. The writing is complex but rewarding.

  11. Yogesh Kataria –

    Lewontin and Levins offer a unique lens on biology. While I don’t agree with everything, it challenged my assumptions. The Cuban agriculture section was particularly insightful.
