Origin
by Dan Brown
i read this in 2017. oh my! this book plunges into the profound complexities of human existence and the relentless quest for control. it masterfully unravels how individuals and institutions, driven by ideology and power, often assume a god-like stance, wielding influence at the cost of human life. from religious extremism to political manipulation, the narrative exposes the dark undercurrents shaping our world.
i love how the book transcends mere storytelling to confront harsh realities. the author’s exploration of global conflict; from Gaza to Syria, Ukraine to Khartoum, and even the depths of the Sambisa Forest, reveals how deeply entrenched beliefs, whether rooted in religion, science, or political ideology, can lead to unimaginable bloodshed. the vivid depiction of violence staining the streets of Europe, the Middle Eastern terrains, and the modern West is haunting, yet it forces the reader to reflect on humanity's struggle for dominance and control.
the book’s strength lies in its ability to provoke thought and stir emotion. it challenges the reader to question how far humanity has strayed from compassion and unity in its pursuit of power and superiority. the idea that science, religion, and money can merge into a force that dares to challenge the very position of God is both terrifying and thought-provoking.
in a world racing forward at breakneck speed, where chaos seems to reign supreme, this book serves as a powerful reminder of the fragile line between order and destruction. it left me reflecting deeply on the cost of human ambition and the fate of the millions who suffer as collateral damage in this relentless quest for supremacy.
