The insect epiphany gives an in-depth view of how insects have shaped our world, from the products we cannot make without them to the inspiration we took from them. The main focus isn't the insects themselves, but the things they brought us.

The book focuses on influences from all around the world. It often talks about non-Western cultures.

Although I found the text to be a bit dense for casual reading, I can see others using it for their research or strong interest in a discussed subject. I appreciate that the author was able to add a personal touch to the writing while still maintaining a serious approach.
