Super smart. Loved the content and idea. Didn’t love the writing. The humor did g translate for me 80 years on. Still relevant as far as the topic and conversations.

I really liked the concept behind this book, and it's sadly still relevant almost 100 years after its initial publication. That said, I feel like it would have been stronger if the story had stayed more focused. By the end, there were quite a lot of characters to keep track of as well as a lot of political machinations to follow (both in terms of actual politics as well as social organizations scrambling to stay relevant). I think it could have made its major points in half the length, but it was certainly a thought-provoking read.
