The Religion War (Scott Adams, 2004)

Inspired by madali's thread on Gods Debris, I acquired this other book by Scott Adams. Will review it soon.
Synopsis
With publication of The Religion War, millions of long-time fans of Scott Adams's Dilbert cartoons and business best sellers will have to admit that the literary world is a better place with Adams on the loose spreading new ideas and philosophical conundrums. Unlike God's Debris, principally a dialogue between its two main characters, The Religion War is set several decades in the future when the smartest man in the world steps between international leaders to see if he can prevent a catastropic confrontation between Christianity and Islam that would destroy most of civilization. The parallels between where we are today and where we could be in the near future are clear. Adams says The Religion War targets "bright readers with short attention spans - everyone from the lazy students to busy book clubs." The book may be a three-hour read, but it's packed with concepts that will be discussed long after the last page is turned, including a lit of "Questions to Ponder in the Shower" that will underline the story's purpose of highlighting the most important - yet most ignored - questions of the world.
About the Author
Scott Adams is the creator of Dilbert, which appears in more than 2,000 newspapers in sixty-five countries. Scott has twenty-nine books in print with more than eleven million copies sold, including two number one New York Times best-sellers. He is CEO of Scott Adams Foods, Inc. and co-owner of two restaurants, Stacey's Cafe in Pleasanton, California and Stacey's at Waterford. The author, cartoonist, engineer, artist, restauranteur, actor, hypnotist, and entrepreneur lives in northern California.

I finished this yesterday, read it in 2 days. Its easier to read than the first one, which sets the mood and characters for this one. What makes it exciting to flip through the pages is how the world stage is set, how technology is described, the future has a war looming and its up to the avatar to change it. A short read, I recommend it.
3.5/5
