Incredible story and messages - all very relevant too imo. Seeing this story set only a few years into the future primarily in the southern California area, was especially memorable to me, as a fellow southern Californian. Especially reading how overpriced everything was, especially food and water, and that there were literally wage/job slaves, which was very interesting. 

Additionally, I just loved how it focused onto literally taking life into your own hands, and "God is Change" is a concept that will certainly stick with me for a long time.
