Title: A nice tale - just little science
Review: As there already are quite a number of reviews, I will be brief. From my vantage point (as a philosopher of science), Bloom spins an entertaining socio-biological yarn, and 'backs it up' with evidence that could just as well provide a basis to justify a wide array of other hypotheses. There is little in his framework that provides for falsifiability, a hallmark of serious scientific inquiry. Furthermore, the large amount of factual mistakes, false similes and sometimes mind-boggling use of pop-culture (as already pointed out in another review) do not help to enhance the author's credibility on the points that matter. In my personal opinion, a poor contribution to science.
Is the review positive or negative?
