This book review[0] by ACX/SSC might be more value for the time at this point, because first paragraph:
'The book is about how social-media-connected masses are revolting against elites, but the revolt has moved forward so quickly that a lot of what Gurri considers wild speculation is now obvious fact. I picked up the book on its "accurately predicted the present moment" cred, but it predicted the present moment so accurately that it's barely worth reading anymore. It might as well just say "open your eyes and look around".'
I think Scott was looking at it from a too US-centric perspective and part of what made the book interesting was drawing connections between movements around the world.
On top of that I would say he's also looking at it from a grey tribe[1] bubble. People in the red tribe and the blue tribe have analyzed the current situation from an ideological perspective and have missed the larger picture -- the analysis in this book is step 1 in disabusing people of the notion that this problem breaks down along purely political lines.
