Some very interesting concepts, and for the most part well-presented. I enjoyed learning about much of the reasoning behind the public’s fears of the Blank Slate, and Pinker’s rebuttals. I did find, though, that the book dragged at times, and there was a great deal of repetition, so I kept thinking “Get on with it!”. Also, while most of the “hot button” topics at the end were interesting, some had a tenuous connection at best. “The Arts”? Really?
