What's the difference with my take on it? In all honesty, I can't remember the details to well. But I belive the anti-christ in that book was a sort of mesiah figure, who preached teachings that would bring the downfall of religous followings and current societal structures, while open ing people's eyes to primitive ways of life, and a more animistic spirituality. In the case of the book, the anti-christ's roll was not to bring about a "golden age of humanity" but to prepare people for life after civilization, or in other words, life after the "golden age". (that's a terrible term to use like this, though, as it has such unshakeble positive connotations that come with it)

Another way of looking at it, would be that he is trying to make a return to the garden of eden, which had been left 10,000 years ago when humans set off on the bender known as civilization.

Daniel Quinn is the author.
