I am not sure if there has been a critical review by someone very popular which has changed people's opinion of the book or if they're not taking away from it the same things that I did. I feel that isn't a fact or a falsehood as much as a different way to look at the concept. One of my favorite examples of this was describing communism and capitalism as religions. I really enjoyed the books and felt that they were more an "analyzation" of history and the future rather than stating facts like a textbook. Lately, I've been seeing criticism that the books are not fact based or are blatant lies. The older posts on r/books are almost all praise for his writing. When the book was first released, people were raving about it in r/books and even in reviews on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
