Reviews

[Alex · Rating 5 out of 5]

Listened to it twice. Fun mix of science and conjecture.

[Joe Van Steen · Rating 1 out of 5]

Very Imaginary

On the one hand, it's almost a five. But, on the other hand, there is way to much imagination putting personal spin on things, and treating it as reasoned argument.

[Dan Lewis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Thought provoking and concise but suffers from a lack of objectivity and is overly reductive for the sack of simplification. Many of the conclusions made throughout come across as overly grandiose and one sided. Read this crash course in human history with a mountain sized pinch of salt.
