This book's good only to keep an actual fire going. Wanted to take a flame thrower to it by the end.

Sigh , Ray old buddy, pal, chum you were so so close and yet you missed it. This book is all about making a statement about technology and how it was going to corrupt people or something, but the most important lesson to take away from this has nothing to do with that at all. The most important thing is definitely "technology, mass exploitation, and minority pressure carried the trick". With the world we live in today made up of PC language and safe spaces, that quote alone makes this book worthy of a 4 star rating even if the rest of it was wrong.

The writing style didn’t appeal to me, and the story left me wanting more.

The censorship and book banning depicted are so apropos for our current climate and situation. Even if this is fairly extreme/fantastical, it is incredibly cautionary and chilling as well.
