This book is amazing. I don't know if I would have read it, if someone told me what it was about. It is sad. There is a ton of death and human suffering in this. I would recommend this book to anyone. It has themes that seem all to relevant. It is the idea of what could very easily happen to the United States, if capitalist greed continues to be more important than human life. Read it
