In a word: Brilliant. In a sentence: Desmet answers compelling questions that we have been asking since day one of this Covid fiasco, and some of us asking quite a bit before that. No one else has, in my opinion, come close to fulfilling this task. Let me start with a quote directly from the horse’s mouth:
Thank your for this Todd - It's great to get the "nutshell" version of the book in this review. It sort of corroborates my great concerns re the WEF's 4 Industrial Revolution which relies on our need to stay hooked on our technology and our increasing inability to even go for a walk, or get groceries without our phone in our purse or in our hands. According folks like Elon Musk, we are ALREADY cyborgs, just based on our absolute need to stay connected to our devices and our tech. And this furthers what Desmet appears to be writing about - the brainwashing/mind control element of this technology. I would also suggest as a possible solution, to educate people about the very real dangers of the technology we rely on so completely, and to start encouraging physical gatherings at the local level - street dances, fairs and markets (start learning to trade for goods and services), picnics and potlucks - to minimize our screen time and get back into the joy of living in actual physical community, rather than our online, increasingly virtual reality...
Cannot wait to read this book…it appears to answer so many of my questions as to what is happening. It sounds pretty fascinating. I saw it is available on Amazon. Yay. Thank you for the review, Todd
I saw a video with Desmet explaining his views very early in the “pandemic” which helped shape my views. Thanks for this very clear elaboration of his thoughts. I am going to share your article with others.

There is a lot of detail in the book I did not cover in this brief review. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Thank you! It is definitely one of the seminal books on this whole Covid fiasco.
Great review, convinced me to order the book
