In general, it was an interesting read even though there wasn't that much substance to it. This bit frustrated me:

“We broke away from the equations of biology, all of which are sublinear. Every other creature gets slower as it gets bigger. That’s why the elephant plods along. But in cities, the opposite happens. As cities get bigger, everything starts accelerating. There is no equivalent for this in nature.”

It's inaccurate to compare the growth of human society to the physical growth of creatures. Primates aren't the first species to benefit from society; What about ants, or bees, or even hyenas?
