3.5
A good commentary on how our economic system will lead to our downfall and an accidental illustration of the hubris of the colonizer. Expect old-timey racism.

riverofhorton's review against another edition
I need to take a break from this book for an indeterminate amount of time. I just can't deal with the audacity, racism, classism, ableism, and arrogance of this man.
I may well come back to this book at a later date (if so, I will update this review), but for now I am not in the mental space to be reading this. Which is honestly such a shame, I have been looking forward to actually reading this book since watching the 60s film as a kid.
