In DREAMING SOULS, Flanagan, synthesizer par excellence, applies Gould and Lewontin's spandrel theory to the age-old puzzlement'What are dreams for?' He checks the fit, inspects the seams for gaps and the fabric for rents and snags. He rubs it against the grindstones of Dennet, Dawkins, Hobson, Descartes, and Freud (thankfully, even as he musters up these heavyweights and more, his deft, engaging style of writing is never bogged down in pedantry).
