Man oh man, this book is amazing. It's a collection of speculative non-fiction: the old "What if" game played to perfection. Rossi references history, philosophy, religion, science, mythology, literature and much, much more, and he does it in such a folksy style that it's a treat to read. If you're looking for something new and different, you've come to the right place; every idea sparkles. ( )
