https://www.lrb.co.uk/v41/n01/on-brexit/what-europeans-talk-about-when-they-talk-about-brexit might also be of interest. Both are quite long reads, so it might suit those who are retired and have the time to read these things (ahem).

There's no border problem! The technology exists to sort imports/exports across the border (although nobody has came forward with this amazing advancement in the time since we voted out!).
Just as I thought........
Biased books on Brexit Bruce no thank you!
I bet the authors nose has grown two inches in the last two years.....
If you aren't willing to even look at the opposition argument, I would suggest it is you who holds the biased view joe
Your opposition argument by all remainers has been proved wrong since we voted Out ........
Also some of the experts who state its life , and death to stay in the EU stated the the same ldeology if we had not joined the Euro..........
Call me a cynic but I go by facts in history not predictable responses as they were upset the UK public dared to vote Out
No it doesn’t
Personally i think the remainers argument has been adequately displayed by the BBC over the past two years by our non biased media corporation.
A very naive statement.The technology definately exists,the cost would be the issue
I’m working with the government to streamline the processes for imports of agrifood in the eventuality of a no deal Brexit. The technology doesn’t exist, the prenotification of such goods, which is fundamental to the relevant legislation, will be done via a basic .gov submission form. Miles away from the EU TRACES system which controls the current flow and risk identification of such goods.
Second to the technology is our inability to have required infrastructure in place. So if by some miracle someone can actually design, build, receive government backing, third country approval and commercial acceptance for such technologies within the 100 days left, then all imports will be done away from the border controlled area of the Port facility and will be conducted in land. However they’re are no staff to conduct such checks
There’s more but unfortunately I’m bound by NDA’s

Correct. However, Rees-Mogg, Johnson, Redwood and the other ERG crackpots say it does, and some of them even dismiss the idea that a border is required! So much for taking control of the borders!
you do realise that there are lads either side of the border who are only waiting to take up smuggling again
I’m debating having a career change. It’ll be open season
I guarantee the BBC have had Farage on more than any actual geo-political experts, though your statement is a trite one that is completely besides the point anyway

It's not a book at all. It's an article from various writers around Europe asking them how their country is both viewing Brexit as a whole, and by proxy Britain during the Brexit process. It's sadly indicative of the state of your mind that you clearly judged the merits of it without even reading it. We've spoken a lot about borders in this thread, but perhaps the biggest border is within your own mind?
