WRITING IN THE POST, JOHN PODHORETZ REVIEWS AN ARMY OF DAVIDS:

It’s only March, but I can guarantee you there won’t be a more exciting or inspiring book published this year than “An Army of Davids.” . . .

Reynolds embraces the brave new world, and why shouldn’t he? As an early user of high tech, he has seen how it has benefited mankind – and how its implementation has helped end “the era of Big Entities. From the Napoleonic Wars to the Soviet Gulags, the empowerment of huge organizations and bureaucracies wasn’t exactly a blessing to the human spirit.”

“An Army of Davids” is infectiously optimistic. There are reasons to argue with its optimism, to mistrust Reynolds’ always-look-on-the-bright-side-of life tone. But it’s amazingly pleasant to read a provocative and thought-provoking book that doesn’t say the present stinks and the future will be worse.

I’m not sure I’m quite that optimistic, but to the extent that I am, let’s just hope I turn out to be right. . . .
