If you do read please remember that this book is a warning. NOT a guide! It is creepy how similar the world of the book and reality are.

As a book, though, it's not... super great. The prose is okay if pretty dry and none of the characters are particularly likeable in personality (although they're very interesting people. To me.) If you come here looking for a good story, I wouldn't say that this is it, but it's a fantastic work to analyze and reflect upon.
