Did he? Or was it like that even back then? I’m reading this book, and it’s like a carbon copy of our world in the US nowadays. I keep yelling “oh my god, this is basically happening right now!!!” Not as blatant and (I don’t know the word) as in the book, but essentially the same. The book is like now, but on steroids (to explain the word I’m missing). The divide/polarization, the police brutality, the pollution, corporations and exploitation, the government’s overreach… Etc, it’s all here now.

    You absolutely could. And thank you. Put them on the list. I’ve been reading nonfiction my whole life and I just picked up fiction recently and I kinda like it.
