- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Our history is our hope. An amazing book that provides continuity from ageless to current in human governance, norms, and art. More understandable today (2021) than when written in 2015.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5As erudite as it is inconsequential. As expected from a media critic. Writing this book was possibly therapy for the author. I don't have anything against his sentiments but stories are just stories, the universe would still exist without them and the only meaning they have is as part of our culture and are not a holy revelation.
