Better than I expected! Silly intro to a lot of different philosophical concepts using plots from Sci-Fi movies. Fun to read.

I was very interested in the subject so I was well motivated to read this book. Unfortunately, although the first two chapters were definitely interesting and well written, in the rest of the book the writing becomes a bit too convoluted and not easy to follow. Too baroque to be effective. However, the central problem discussed in the book is well posed and the perspective given by Rowlands interesting. It deserves a read for those who are really into ethology and animal behavior.

کتاب محشری بود!‌ درسته برای شهرت کسانی مثل پاریس هیلتون نوشته شده که دلیلش عجیب و غریبه اما تو جامعه‌ی امروز ما مصداق‌های اینستاگرامی زیادی داره!‌

A clear mind and an inspiring life. I'm glad there are people (and wolves) out there like that and I wish he had been one of my philosophy tutors..... even while I wonder if I would have been happy to be one of his neighbours while my kids were small. Thanks for sharing - life and philosophy - and for writing so well.
