"Not sure if I will end up finishing but 43% of the way through the actual text. Some very interesting ideas, even if the author seems on occasion to use intentionally provocative language. A particularly valuable recurring theme surrounds the dehumanizing forces of contemporary society." Jan 16, 2026 07:28PM
