Great review/essay. I always get nervous when people invoke literacy and science as the cures for everything, without including a caveat about the ideologies driving the scholarship.
You say Geroulanos’ book is depressing, eh? Sounds right up my alley. Srsly tho, it seems that regardless of whether one’s reality is faith-based or secular, we, as a species, will be our undoing :(
Always thoughtful and worthwhile essays here. Thank you.
