Summary: one of the best 5 books
Comment: This is one of the 5 best books i've ever read. It is an attempt (based on a complex metaphysics developed in the first three volums of The Dramatic Universe - which for me were nearly unreadable) to recapitulate the history of humanity from about 2,000,000 years ago to the present, according to a theory that human history and evolution is guided by non-omnicient intelligences bonded to this planet. Bennett has a wide grasp of scientific research and a very synthetic style of telling this story. He works on a heuristic theory that it is better to guess at developments during some long periods for which evidence is slim, always based on what evidence there is (or was, in the 1960's), rather than just pass over developments of human culture during these periods in silence. His work is consistent with the Gaia hypothesis, and the work of writers like Arne Wyller (The Creating Consciousness). For those who believe that life has evolved, shows the influence of some intention or purpose (not merely blind chance), and that this purpose is somehow related to a destiny involving spirituality as well as physical and mental development, this is a great read!
