From the various summaries I read‚ I found the book interesting because it was not a conventional science book. Yes‚ it talked a lot about science but the paradigm shift that Kuhn wrote about got my interest. The ‘scientific revolutions’ were true and believable and somehow‚ I agree with them.

Marshall Sahlins’ has a quote that we stand on the shoulders of giants to shit on their heads reflects the idea of paradigm shift.

They are America‚ writ large and thirsty
