I have appreciated the Zeitgeist movement since the first zeitgeist video in 2007. That film probably "woke me up", or started to, more than anything else.

.

I have also appreciated the work that Peter Joseph and others on the ZM team have put in over the years, expanding on their ideas and explaining them.

.

Having said that, this is one of the worst books I have ever read. There is nothing about this book that is clear or concise. This is probably the most over-academicized books I've ever seen, and it comes across as nothing but appallingly self-righteous and preachy. 

.

I thought the aim of this book was going to be to communicate the ideas of the ZM, but, it seems more like an exercise in self-flagellation. 

.

I got nothing from this book, except disappointment. TZM has good ideas and bad ideas, but none of it was given a solid focus in this book.

.

I have no idea who would benefit from this book, and I do not recommend it to anyone.
