I just happened to read this book last week and as an fyi... Despite the book's title, only the first 3 chapters out of 13 are focused on Asian culture. The other chapters talk about Aaron Swartz's legal battle and suicide, Tony Judt and his controversial position Israel, Neil Strauss and pick up artists, sex diaries and hookups on the web, etc. The Asian chapter on the Virginia Tech shooter's was educational for me because I didn't know his social awkwardness caused rejections from girls on campus and how it fueled his anger.

I thought the book was interesting. If you like Ribbonfarm type of writing, you might like his dissection of various topics.
