Title: Beyond Civilization?
Post by: Sitting Coyote on December 31, 2009, 10:53:51 pm

Daniel Quinn, best known for writing the novel Ishmael and its sequels Story of B and My Ishmael, wrote the non-fiction book Beyond Civilization around the year 2000.  Anyone else read this?  If so, what do people think about it?  I'm tempted to summarize, but there are such a diverse array of ideas in the book that I fear I'd bias people's views and interpretations of the book if I did so.

I've read Ishmael, My Ishmael and some of Quinn's articles, but I haven't read Beyond Civilization beyond some excerpts and his articles that touched on its subjects. I'd be interested in your summary.

I only recently bumped into this guy. Read about him, seen/heard him interviewed, but never his actual books.

Like Phil, I'd be interested in your summary.
