Title: Self concious 'profundity'
Review: Newt is correct about one thing, Kaplan quotes everyone one earth. That is part of his whole technique of sounding prophetic. I for one am not especially enamored of 'prophecy'. I would prefer some solid empirical reporting. Kaplan's last book had the same faults as this one, as a matter of fact, it reads like he cut and pasted alot from An Empire Wilderness, but this book isn't even that good. Which is saying something, cause I gave that one about a C-.
