Best for readers who...
Good fit if you want...
Smart choice if you want art/media perspective that stays readable. Strong option when you want interpretation plus context without clutter. If you enjoy unreliable narrators, the protagonist changes in believable steps.
Maybe skip if...
May not fit if you want a much lighter or punchier style than this offers. Likely a miss if you want a totally different reader expectation set. You only want something with very current references and examples.
