Spring PhD, St. John's University "To their credit, Steven Carter's books make honorable attempts to shore against our ruins a devotion to the powers of erudition, critical analysis, and judgement.

Barton, Bakersfield College "Steven Carter's triumph is to have established a sort of universal ethic of 'how to be,' while promoting at the same time a holistic view of human beings in individual social, cultural, and psychological contexts." --Amelia de Moura Tavares, University of Lisbon "Fiction prevails over reality, image over object, machine over man. Such is the process of internalizing the Other that Steven Carter presents in his most disquieting, but nevertheless entertaining works." --Dorota Janowska, Marie Curie-Sklodowska University "Steven Carter has acquitted himself well." --James Geary, author of All Aphorisms, All The Time and Geary's Guide to the World's Great Aphorists, Steven Carter's triumph is to have established a sort of universal ethic of 'how to be,' while promoting at the same time a holistic view of human beings in individual social, cultural, and psychological contexts.
