Better than a lot of similar books.

The history and background of the books is actually a lot more interesting then the books themselves.

But, their ideas perculated thru a lot of people, and beceme fairly influential, before everybody realized they were fiction.

There was a time everyone thought they were fact, and they were discussed openly in anthropology and religious studies circles.

I like both Korzybski and Gurdjieff, so I enjoyed them.
