[Seth Hunter · Rating 3 out of 5]

Recommended by the Johnny Dekam at Eluminati - it's all about the language that accompanies how we thing about those things digital and abstract and the history behind that. It's a fascinating conglomeration of music, art, history, linguistics, speculation... It speaks about Buddhism in a very limited way, one which indicates the author only has had limited exposure to the practice and therefore speaks only from researching various texts. I was hoping for a little more depth there....

An eclectic approach to linguistics. I have read this book several times and appreciate more each time.
