Customer Reviews

A bitter examination of corprate philosophy and revolution.

"Animal Planet" is a fierce and brilliant work of satire. It's singular aim seems to be the ultimate revelation of absurdity of corporate America. More than this, however, the book examines the true nature of revolution. It tears apart the myths of romance and glory that Americans believe about revolutionaries. The great revolutionaries of this book are not larger than life. They do not lead glorious armies. They resist when it is neccissary and run when it is not. They live underground, scared of shadows and afraid for their lives. Most of their revolution is conducted alone and out of contact as they run across Antarctica. They are heroes by chance. They are icons not because of who they are, but because of what they appear to be. Glory is a lie. They know this to be true. In this their greatness lies.
