What I expected: a thorough look into the various ways in which the denial of death motivates human action in modern society.

What I got: a bunch of Freudian mumbo jumble rambling, desperately trying to resurrect Freud's worst ideas. Even when he has an interesting idea he never elaborates on anything, instead writing in a shallow metaphorical style: moving from one idea to the next quickly without ever developing his ideas, going into detail, or providing evidence for his claims.
