Truly unique & engaging 1st 10 pages. Since then, it has turned into what I'll call gorilla exposition. We'll see. Mildly concerned that the writer has a utopian view of hunter/gatherers (I kind of do, too, but understand that they still had people in them and, therefore, by definition, were not utopias). I expect his critique of modern civilization is coming. Wondering what the gorilla's solution will be...

OK. What began as interesting has lost all story. It's an essay from the author on his beliefs/opinions. The gorilla was just a clever trick to get me to read it. But the gorilla is irrelevant after the first few pages. It could be anyone. I'll keep reading, but I have the sense that he thinks hunter gatherers lived in a paradise. Author clearly doesn't really understand history older than the Industrial Revolution.
