"Brilliant," reminiscent of Lewis Hyde s "The Gift" in its reach and of Timothy Egan s "The Worst Hard Time" in its haunting evocation of human lives, offers a sweeping view of a surprisingly revealing aspect of human history from the stone lamps of the Pleistocene to the LEDs embedded in fabrics of the future."
