Congratulations! Look forward to reading this one, too. Am enjoying talking about How We Got to Now while I'm on book tour for my new novel The Hummingbird Effect - all credit to you for the inspo for the title! Congrats again on your new book.
Judeo-messianism has been spreading its poisonous message among us for nearly two thousand years. Democratic and communist universalisms are more recent, but they have only reinforced the old Jewish narrative. They are the same ideals.
The transnational, transracial, transsexual, transcultural ideals that these ideologies preach to us (beyond peoples, races, cultures) and that are the daily sustenance of our schools, in our media, in our popular culture, in our universities, and on our streets have ended up reducing our biosymbolic identity and our ethnic pride to its minimum expression.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam are death cults originating in the Middle East and totally alien to Europe and its peoples.
Sometimes we wonder why the European left gets along so well with Muslims. Why does an often overtly anti-religious movement side with a fierce religiosity that seems to oppose almost everything the left has always sought to defend? Part of the explanation lies in the fact that Islam and Marxism have a common ideological root: Judaism.
Don Rumsfeld was right when he said, "Europe has shifted on its axis," was the wrong side that won World War II, and it becomes clearer every day . . . What has NATO done to defend Europe? Absolutely nothing . . . My enemies are not in Moscow, Damascus, Tehran, Riyadh or some ethereal Teutonic bogeyman, my enemies are in Washington, Brussels and Tel Aviv.
Looking forward to it. I will ALWAYS remember The Ghost Map. It was the first book I read that turned me into a passionate reader! I picked it up from the Mutter museum in Philadelphia a few years ago. Your book ignited a fire inside me, and I have not stopped reading since.
That's great to hear. This one is very much in the Ghost Map mode -- terror in the big city, new scientific paradigm emerging, detectives roaming the streets, etc, etc.
I cannot wait to read this book! Not sure if you came across the story of Pietro Rigosi, an anarchist from Italy who inspired the song La Locomotiva by one of the greatest songwriters in the country, Francesco Guccini. That song has inspired 2 or 3 generations of Italians.
Anyway, I am anxiously waiting for the book to be available! Thanks Steven!
Interesting! the Italian anarchists are a big part of the story, actually. I was in the middle of filling out some additional context on them, so this is an helpful suggestion. thank you!
This sounds awesome! I appreciate your work, Steven, and love how you're offering readers a little behind the scenes. Thank you for continuing to share your gift.
Last year I watched the classic 8 part New York Ric Burns documentary, it reminded me of Emergence for obvious reasons and then the Manchester analysis section. I thought to myself "I feel like there's more 1840s-1910s urban stories that could be told"
it really is a fascinating period, and as I mentioned, it has been so fun to write about NYC finally after all these years. the city itself is not quite as much as a character in the plot the way London was in Ghost Map, or Manchester in that section of Emergence, but I'm trying to add a bit more of that flavor in these final edits...

The first time I have ever [pre-]ordered a book based on the author’s self review.
ah, thanks so much. it's a fun one I think -- part history of ideas, part true-crime thriller.
