Desert Notebooks: A Road Map for the End of Time by Ben Ehrenreich

3.0

It's as meandering as the title suggests, although the controlling metaphors (images/symbols, really) of owl and ancient myths, and the more modern one of our current civilization's seemingly infinite progress, help tie all the stray observations together. However, the book really hits its high in Chapter 7, with Ehrenreich's grappling with the work of Jakob Boehme. His attendant descriptions of Las Vegas, there, take on a curious (almost sublime) resonance with the previous insights. And it is a relatively breezy read from that point on.
