The New Yorker Best Books of the Week
The New Yorker named The Weaponization of Expertise to its “Best Books We Read This Week” list, calling it a “persuasive account of how “tentative conclusions proclaimed by the powerful can harden into orthodoxies.”
In The New Yorker’s May 26, 2025 issue, Daniel Immerwahr reviews The Weaponization of Expertise in an essay:
“For liberals, veneration of expertise became a shibboleth… There was something ‘deeply ironic’ about formulating the support for science as a religious creed, Jacob Hale Russell and Dennis Patterson observe in The Weaponization of Expertise.”
