But What If We're Wrong? by Chuck Klosterman Book Summary

New York Times bestselling author Chuck Klosterman asks questions that are profound in their simplicity: How certain are we about our understanding of gravity? How certain are we about our understanding of time? What will be the defining memory of rock music, five hundred years from today? How seriously should we view the content of our dreams? How seriously should we view the content of television? Are all sports destined for extinction? Is it possible that the greatest artist of our era is currently unknown (or—weirder still—widely known, but entirely disrespected)? Is it possible that we “overrate” democracy? And perhaps most disturbing, is it possible that we’ve reached the end of knowledge?

Klosterman visualizes the contemporary world as it will appear to those who'll perceive it as the distant past. Kinetically slingshotting through a broad spectrum of objective and subjective problems, But What If We’re Wrong? is built on interviews with a variety of creative thinkers—George Saunders, David Byrne, Jonathan Lethem, Kathryn Schulz, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Brian Greene, Junot Díaz, Amanda Petrusich, Ryan Adams, Nick Bostrom, Dan Carlin, and Richard Linklater, among others—interwoven with the type of high-wire humor and nontraditional analysis only Klosterman would dare to attempt. It’s a seemingly impossible achievement: a book about the things we cannot know, explained as if we did. It’s about how we live now, once “now” has become “then.”

Small town columnist. A book that pondered, probed and posed what people way into the future would think of how we make our ways through life today. A great book and in the end, I too am not afraid of the future. I just hope that it isn't exactly like yesterday.

Interesting Read. Very interesting book. Makes you truly think about the future, along with the present.

But what if we're wrong. The author fleshes out a number of concepts that suggest past and present "reality" are questionable and future reality is hardly something to probe reasonably, other than to write this book about it. Still, he ventures a position of "probably" occasionally, and I'm most interested in how his assessment of the Obama presidency will turn out. But then again, he's off the hook because there is no end to ever-changing perspectives...especially his own.

So What if We're Wrong?. 3 stars = worth reading on my scale. I have 1 general criticism for this booked it is: I found it a bit too heavy on examples once the point had been made; this was especially so for the sections on literature and music. As for the book I was expecting,I would have liked reading MORE about the potential ramifications of what happens in the wake of realizing we've been wrong (i.e. more Copernican Revolution-type stuff).

Thought Provoking. Interesting book that provokes the mind to think. Original thought is better than being force fed information from all the various sources that are injected in our day to day lives. Whether you agree with the content of this book or not doesn't really matter as it pushes you to think.
