Thanks to Karen for the pointer. What I like is how the narrators don't focus on ownership of a label or membership of names to any supposed "movement" and stick to explaining speculative realism as an historical event and tendency of thought, rather than brand.
While discussion of speculative realism is indeed tired (if not passe') I'm about half way through and so far it seems fair enough.
