This is *not* a book by Richard Monson-Haefel but rather a collection of short and content-light pieces by a number of different writers you've probably never heard of. Indeed the pieces would be too short to even qualify as a magazine article.
Each 'chapter' is typically three, short, paragraphs of bland generalisation. Introducing each 'chapter' is a piece of fluff about the writer (think mini-CV crossed with an advert) which is often a significant fraction of the 'chapter'. And where the same writer has authored more than one chapter the fluff about him is repeated.
A very, very high noise to signal ratio and what signal there is is of very low quality.
Avoid.
