John Gray book.

I am reading "Black Mass: Apocalyptic Religion and the Death of Utopia" by John Gray.
Quite interesting.

Interesting first sentence:
"Modern politics is a chapter in the history of religion."
Bit of a generalization.

Another interesting sentence in the middle of the book:
"Deception has been integral at every stage of the Iraq war."

He seems very pessimistic and cynical in the modern sense of the word.
