The Fabric of Civilization: How Textiles Made the World by Virginia Postrel
3.5
Rating : 3,5⭐
I most enjoyed learning about the history of textiles, but I didn't care as much about the sections concerning the current innovations in textile technology. Though, I'm not sure the book goes deep enough to encompass the concept of "civilization" as a whole. I don't think that title was earned. But as someone who enjoys fiber crafts already, there was enough here to keep me interested in reading.

The premise seemed interesting but the execution was all over the place. Go read Les enfants du sabbat instead if you want a book that criticizes religion by exploring the depravity of the occult.
