Ok i've been off round the Net trying to find some pop science reading material and i came across Howard Blooms book 'Global Brain - The Evolution of Mass Mind From The Big Bang to the 21st Century.' Has anyone read this book? Perhaps you've read something else by the author? I'm interested by the subject matter but the concepts (from what i gather from reviews) seems a little 'out there.' Is this guy worth reading or not is my question? 🙂

Thanks i'll follow that up. I've looked him up on Wiki and there doesn't seem to be any suggestion that he's a nutter. I'm a lot more cautious about what i read these days after i unknowingly read a book on the Maya which was written by a Nazi apologist! Damned if i'm gonna make that mistake again. 😠

I think Cadwah is a fan of Robert Anton Wilson. He may have heard of the other guy too. Then again, I've heard he really likes his Guinness...he may be making it all up just to get a free drink.
