Cambridge Prof. Simon Conway Morris (Life's Solution: Inevitable Humans in a Lonely Universe) reviews Robert Wright's Nonzero in the New York Times in 2000. A most interesting, challenging review, not least because I am a fan of both authors and both books--and notwithstanding their differing comfort levels with extending their shared views on the inevitabilities of biological and cultural evolution beyond temporal questions of "direction" and "purpose" to the metaphysical. For those of you who are reading or have read these authors' books, this book review should be particularly interesting. (Click on the link below.)
