Thank you so much Eric for following through on my request to have you review this book.

Being that I was born in '56 I fall right smack in the middle of the first category of the current 80-90 year cycle (High / Prophet ).

It is interesting the categories the authors have labeled the different ages into. Your grouping seems to fit you very well by your own admission, and I agree with that based on my knowledge of you I've acquired over the nearly three years I've known you.

As for myself and my category; I am not about claim "high" status or "prophet" for me. Although I have gained / discovered quite a bit knowledge just in the last dozen years that has led me to share that information on places like my HIVE blog.

The two quotes you included from George Orwell and Michael Crichton are "spot on" and I encourage anyone reading my comment to go back up into your post and re-read those at least three times. Those are very profound statements that I am a firm believer in.
You know that I study history, American history to be precise, and am constantly uncovering new things that I have missed through the lies and deception of the public education system.

Based on your recommendation I will get this book and read it as time allows and not because I don't trust review; quite the opposite. Your recommendation carries great weight with me because at some point in the future you will reach that #1 category and will have earned the "High / Prophet" status.
Thanks again for taking the time to share this information.
