Title: No ideological axe to grind, but this book was a mess
Review: Mr. Rifkin seems to have a talent for polarizing his readers, I'll give him that. I neither love nor hate his writing, and feel this is a topic worthy of a well-researched book. Unfortunately, this feels very much like the sort of essay that gets written when somebody is assigned to finish x-thousand words by Thursday, and doesn't have time to research the topic. Seriously, in the first hundred pages or so, absolutely nothing happens except Rifkin asserting, over and over, how important biotechnology is. Wouldn't it have been better to provide some examples and let us decide for ourselves whether it's important? Better luck next time, Jeremy.
