Review Quotes




'Welcome to a very new and very different interpretive world. Brilliant.' - John Schad, professor of Modern Literature, University of Lancaster

'Crammed with historical and philosophical analysis, this highly original book provides a wonderful education in Darwinism and related fields (such as game theory), an education that is for everyone, whether one is inside or outside academia.' - Timothy Morton, professor of English, University of California Davis
