Summary, etc. Sex and Destiny is one of the more important books to be written this century. Let me add that it states the obvious - and that the obvious is never so until it is stated, and that is where greatness, genius, call it what you will. lies. Ms Greer's thesis is this: our Western societies are sterile and corrupt. More, we are busy infecting the underdeveloped East with our disastrous notions of what the good life is: more contraception, more abortion, more family planning, more population control, more death, in fact, less life. The power and importance of Ms Greer's book is that perhaps now, if we pay it attention we will know why we want these terrible things and what is happening to us.'<br/>Sex and Destiny is, in every sense of the words, a great book... Dr Greer has turned her attention to the urgent question of survival, with its concomitant problem of guilt and responsibility... a courageous attempt to make a global survey of the quality of life under our self-imposed sentence of death. Dr Greer's conclusions are sober, indeed bleak. Perhaps nuclear destruction and another dozen millenia of evolution will have to come about before it is realised, but in the meanwhile Dr Greer has made a major contribution to our sanity."
