Book Log 2018 #46: Origin by Dan Brown
Everyone's favorite symbologist is at it again, as Robert Langdon goes to an event at the Guggenheim in Bilbao for a presentation that is said will change science forever... only to have it end in chaos. Langdon goes on the run with the museum's director, and the pair have to figure out a way to save this discovery from the forces allayed against them. Sound familiar?
Also familiar is the big reveal at the end, which (spoiler alert) claims to disprove that religion is a thing but isn't particularly convincing. I was able to come up with a reasonable counter-argument in about three minutes, and I am not a philosopher or theologian. Or a symbologist, for that matter.
Probably fine for an airplane/beach/commute read where you want something that moves reasonably quickly, doesn't require a lot of thinking, and don't have any better options.
