So says Andrea Diem-Lane
in her Integral World article on Dan Brown's latest novel Origin. An
excerpt:
"[It] struck me as quite ironic that the fictional
Edmond Kirsch's speculative theories on life's origin and future
trajectory was much more evidential and persuasive than Ken Wilber's
Eros theory about the cosmos. To put this into sharper relief, the
novelistic truth embedded in Origin sheds a clearer light than the
supposedly 'non-fictional' metaphysics
espoused in Integral Theory. The science in Dan Brown's fiction, in
other words, is more properly grounded and carries more weight than most
of what one finds in Wilber's later tomes. This may come as no surprise
to his many critics, but it is disconcerting when one finds greater
insight in Dan Brown's latest novel than in Ken Wilber's attempts at
Integral science."
