- This book was on my "to-read" list for a long time. After finally reading it, I have to say that it was well conceived and written. I was rather disappointed by the ending; I was hoping for something more clever. That said, there are a lot of bits that strike true (or almost true) with our modern life, so there's still plenty food for thought.
