Customer Reviews

Dense as a diamond and as precious too.

A world view so unlike anything ever before conceived. Yes, it is unique. It is also terribly hard to find. Soleri's streams of conciousness and random thoughts are presented in such a manner that bringing it all together is harder than it should be. Do not read this book and expect to work out what Soleri is on about. Read "Omega Seed" or "Technology and Cosmogenesis" instead; they are more together. You WILL, however, be stimulated in ways you never though possible. It's like drinking Vodka straight up; you get drunk faster but that stuff burns something nasty! I stand by my belief that Soleri will one day be seen as a great visionary on par with Da Vinci, Haussman, Emerson and Nietzsche. He will change the way we think and live.
