A Measured Study of Revolution and Backlash

Revisado: 05-20-24

As always a great book by FZ. Insightful and calm. He just has a fantastic way of explaining trends and putting them in historic context. That being said I would not say the last few chapters stuck to the "revolution" title. As FZ sometimes does in his books, if the "theme" is too constrained he is all to ready to jetison it so he can pontificate on whatever topic he wants. That's OK since I love to hear his thoughts about alot of things. Must be very liberating to not have to stay the course when many just like to hear you speak.

The energy of the presentation

Revisado: 03-24-24

He took a subject that could be arcane and remote and made it alive. His passion for history and interest in the common man was fantastic to hear. Thank you for that.

Life as it is

Revisado: 01-10-24

Enjoyed it thoroughly. Great insight to what I see as somewhat typical experiences of a first generation child of immigrants. I say this because I've had similar stories as the son of Cuban immigrants. You end up living on the border of two worlds not belonging fully to either. Thank you for writing this book.

Real Insight

It was a balanced attempt at understanding a very complex person who, like it or not, has become very important to our world.

unique does not make for good

Unique story, if there is a story. I tried to find meaning. Found I was glad to be done with it.

More Dark but Still Funny

Revisado: 03-18-23

Definitely a more dark set of stories from David, but still made me laugh out loud while listening. He's still got it. Thank you David.

Great Lectures on Comparative Religion

If peace could be won through understanding, this lecture series will significantly help. Very good presentation and content. I'm grateful to have listened to it.

Just a Lot of Fluff Not serious

Revisado: 06-22-22

This was a terrible disappointment and not a serious attempt to understand the world as it may be in 2041. The author believes technology will solve all problems and create very few. A complete failure to really understand the affects of technology on society and society's affect on technology. He has veen drinking the Kool-aid served in Silicon Valley. I'm no Ludite but the belief that by 2041 computers will displace doctors is just nuts. The author, who is a technologist himself unsurprisingly believes the technologist will rule supreme. The author's conclusions at the end represents some political agenda that is simply naive. I wanted to learn and came away with nothing. Haven't been this disappointed in a book in a very long time.

Fantastic writing. I wish I had known

Revisado: 05-03-22

I've listened to 200 audible books in my time and read several. This is the first book I'll immediately rewind and listen to again after finishing it. I only wish I had appreciated him more while he was alive.
