"I've taken months to read this collection of essays, partly because life has been busy for me, but also because this is a very heavy work of social thinking. Adorno writes on a variety of topics, many of which are systematically inter-related (the ex...more"

| This is a great story and although the ending was a bit anticlimatic, I thought the premise of the story was very challenging and the notion was very politically relevant to the post 2001 climate of the 2000s. | |
