Nauseating, Misogynistic, Sociopathic drivel.
I took one good concept from this book, in the very first chapter - and it went downhill from there. The descent into political opining was nauseating, and the chapter on the virtues of power had me intrigued until it crossed the line with extolling “master vs slave” values. Gross. The book is also quite misogynist - referring to the reader as male, frequently, through the book - an odd choice, but one that fits the eventual profile of the author as he lays out his world view.
Very disappointing, as I quite liked the premise of the book and was looking forward to some revelations. Instead, I’ve been told to become more power hungry, be selfish and uncaring, and reject what most folks consider to be values. Basically, become a sociopath. No thanks.

Generally not the genre I read and cannot say that I agreed with everything that the author opined but I absolutely loved the author’s audacity to present points of view that are usually swept under the rug. Refreshing read at that.
