an extremely interesting book, even in the 21st century. however, there is a lot of things that made me uncomfortable when reading this, namely the use of the r-slur (though used as an actually medical term, someone should definitely revise this) and the complete inaccuracy when describing autism. i really liked the start but ending with the chapter “simpletons” (or name to that effect) left a sour taste in my mouth.
