Thanks for all of your hard work! I came to the party late, but it has been a pleasure to revisit this ‘old friend.’
“The arc of the plot ascends through a desperate effort of the industrialists to reignite the country’s production, countered by moves on the part of the established powers in academia, bureaucracy and culture, descending in the final third of the book to the ravaging of the country and the escape of its creative elements.”
Anyone with a working mind, looking at the state America is in today should either cry in despair or be mad as hell and be ready to fight!
I choose the latter. :)
