This book is not easy to read as we kept having to look things up (thank goodness for smartphones!) However, it expanded our book group members' minds and created a lot of discussions.
I know this is what happens with every Jean Houston book I read, so it was expected.
Most of us said we thought we'd have to read it again.
Excellent read and mind-contorting all at the same time. Definitely, one I'll need to re-read there are so many nuances to grapple with. The storyline set during the early days of Covid makes it easy to see how it happened to our protagonist.
This is truly an awesome book to read. I love the flow of the words and the impact of the message. The essence of the future archetypes are very interesting and dynamic. I love the cognitive uplifting from the text and the narrative discussions. Great job!
