A review by ronnierare
Prometheus Rising by Robert Anton Wilson

4.0

Prometheus Rising puts human evolution and psychology in to some of the simplest and most complex terms possible. It is simultaneously easy to comprehend and above comprehension. And on top of this, the sense I get from the book is a sort of witty optimism with some sarcasm thrown in for good measure. Overall I had a great time reading this book. I came away with a feeling of hope for all that humanity is capable of and what we will be able to accomplish in the future if we can just move away from the more “primitive circuits” as Mr. Wilson would say. It left me feeling like I have the ability to be more open minded and responsive to all that the universe has to offer, or all that my own mind has to offer, so long as I am willing to continue to work and learn and explore to get there. As Mr. Wilson says:

“Work to achieve Intelligence Intensification is work to achieve all our other sane and worthwhile goals.”
