This was rather fun to read, yet tragic, because the author's spot-on satire was as true in 1936, as it is in 2024. His obvious poke at unrestrained exploitation of the earth resources, to line the pockets of the wealthy, with no concern for the poor or the environment.

Well done. ...more

interesting premise but wordy and lacking in pace in many places.
