Lazy and credulous
Revisado: 05-05-22
Little more than a summary of Disney’s own PR. Whether you’re historically curious or planning a vacation, there’s not much here for you.

In this sweeping narrative, which takes us from the Stone Age to the Information Age, Robert Wright unveils an astonishing discovery: there is a hidden pattern that the great monotheistic faiths have followed as they have evolved. Through the prisms of archeology, theology, and evolutionary psychology, Wright's findings overturn basic assumptions about Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and are sure to cause controversy.

A bit of comedown- read his earlier work first
Revisado: 05-26-14
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
To certain friends. It is basically the argument from his earlier book Nonzero, extended to the topic of religion and theology.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The most interesting is Wright's provocative claim that the book's thesis provides evidence for the existence of "God" (very loosely defined). It's the kind of claim that will please no one; it's too watery for true believers and too spooky for most modern thinkers.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Wright's got a dry sense of humor that often comes in the form of understatement. The narrator is not as good at pulling it off as the author would be.
Do you think The Evolution of God needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No- it's a good capstone to The Moral Animal and Nonzero- I suspect his next book will be about Buddhism.

Could history repeat itself, with one giant entity taking control of American information? Most consider the Internet Age to be a moment of unprecedented freedom in communications and culture. But as Tim Wu shows, each major new medium, from telephone to cable, arrived on a similar wave of idealistic optimism only to become, eventually, the object of industrial consolidation profoundly affecting how Americans communicate.

Important Topic, Interesting Approach, Bad Reading
Revisado: 05-27-13
What made the experience of listening to The Master Switch the most enjoyable?
Lots of twentieth-century technological/corporate history, convincingly presented as relevant to modern policy.
Would you be willing to try another one of Marc Vietor’s performances?
No. The reading is full of false gravity, which he breaks out of only to half-attempt voices for the quotations, including such watery gems as fake german, fake french, old-timey, fancy old-timey, and presidential. It's ridiculous and distracting. Even worse, he shows no understanding of the text, emphasizing inconsequential words and reading asides with the same ponderousness as the main text.
