Jungk is a fine writer and "spiritual" voice. He was a 19-year old student in Berlin when Hitler became Chancellor. He shows prescience; but not recognizable methodology or historical perspective. As if materialism was a deformity. He is a great journalist, and utterly betrayed by The West. Now, a science-phobe in a vacuum, forgetting "nature" in his nostalgia for what never was. Of course, secularism IS a form of suicide; he offers great hope, although no one will open that door. ( )
