Title: Thumbs Down to Life
Review: Wars are riots. The Nikolyan Revolution led to the rise of the Bonifacists. Enos Enoch gave the Seminar-on-the-Hill and threw the Business Administration concessionaires out of Founder's Hall. The Siegfrieders killed the Moishians (the Chosen Class). Giles must descend into the belly of WESCAC and change its "AIM" programming. He is the Grand Tutor, he thinks, as do some others.A recurring concept and concern of this book is the question: does what Christ says indicate that the is the Christ or is whatever Christ says the truth because he is the Christ? In other words, is the yardstick a correct measure because it matches our concepts of inches and feet, or do we assign authority to the yardstick and follow its caprice?I know many people find Barth great fun, and a lark, but to me he is not funny. His message is bleak and amounts to giving a thumbs down to life.
