A review by doruga
An Anthropologist on Mars, by Oliver Sacks

5.0

Incredibly interesting book. Oliver made me feel that there is some deep secret of how the human mind works and its relation to our animalness/time/space. I feel like you could write incredible sci fi from each of the stories here. I also appreciated how Oliver emphasized how each person here is, in the end, human, and deserving of empathy and respect. He doesnt treat the disabled people here like lab rats; instead always seeking and focusing on the humanity in them. Very good!
