This illuminating book shows that Western cultures are intertwined and entangled with Eastern ones and all the richer for it. It is a concise account of slices of cultural history that connects the Eastern past with modern Western movements in architecture and art, cybernetics and artificial intelligence, and spirituality. A mind-expanding trip across time and space! Bill Kelly, Communications lecturer, UCLA
… This is an incredible book. I've learnt a lot, it was very interesting, easy to understand, readable by anyone over the age of 12. It's a well-organized book too and honestly, it feels too short. You left me wanting more. I knew a few facts that were mentioned, but had never made any of these links. Still, there were also a ton of facts I had no idea about. You're great at writing this type of book where you take concepts that are quite difficult to understand and you somehow manage to make them easily digestible for a wide audience. That's an immense talent! Creating a planetary culture: European science, Chinese Art, and Indian transcendence, the title alone already shows the broad perspective this book takes. Also, the cover is incredible and it lets the reader understand what they are getting, a book to expand their minds, to provide a new perspective or a mind shift. … Nicole Neuman
