Although written slightly dry, it’s a gripping read. Not as apocalyptic as 1984 or Brave New World, but definitely in that category, as perhaps this near reality scenario is equally frightening. What’s compelling is the total descent into a world without privacy that happens with reason, albeit the wrong kind of reason, and the fact that it happens in broad daylight, both in the book as in our own lives. If books are meant as mirrors to uphold to ourselves, then this book certainly delivers.
