A very interesting read, and certainly very progressive for its time. Perhaps due to the format of the book, the reading was very dry at times. Still, it was a fun read, and very interesting.

This book was an interesting thought experience, but if you are going to read this be sure to be ready for racism (with a bit of eugenics in there). There are also some misogynistic tropes in there. When viewed as a product of its time, it is pretty radical, but it does not read as well to the modern ear.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Genocide, Misogyny, Racial slurs, Racism
Minor: Rape, Kidnapping
