Hicks survey is potentially overwhelming. One can readily sympathize with these critics' leeriness towards tidy solutions to such massive and systemic dangers. (Derek C. Maus, Orbit, Vol. 7 (1), 2019) This is a book about the decline of the nation-state, the different ways to understand time, the many potential faces of human slavery, the evolving aesthetic of the sublime, the muddled balance sheet of postmodernism and dehumanizing labor, the power of language, the threat of human ignorance, and the seeming omnipresence of war. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above. (P. L. Redditt, Choice, Vol. 54 (4), December, 2016)
