Summary: An Interesting New Belief About Beliefs
Comment: Anderson's reevaluation of the past few decades puts a clarifying and relieving spin on everything from global memes to the Ayatollah Khomeini. He sees the postmodern era as superficially confusing but surprisingly comprehensible on a deeper level. By reconsidering the growing pains of our complex and creative species in light of the theory that we humans construct our own realities, he shows the reader pattern and order and even hope amidst the fascinating chaos of our times.

Rating: 5
Summary: Lucid & jargon-free
Comment: This is an excellent survey of post-modernism. Anderson manages to explain a lot of esoteric ideas in an entertaining but thorough fashion. While he clearly considers himself a post-modernist, he is a critical and fair-minded one who isn't overly condescending to those who don't share his views.

Rating: 5
Summary: Want to Understand Post-modernism? Read This Book!
Comment: This book explains post-modernism in a way that is stripped of jargon and academic excess. It is an enjoyable book to read, and quite informative. The author makes a good case that the world has been altered by the existence of post-modernism, even for those who do not accept it as their worldview. I found that argument to be compelling, and the book as a whole to be a useful insight into the entire post-modernist enterprise.
