Does not properly distinguish power from authority, i.e. "A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do. Anticipatory obedience is a political tragedy."

Historical details were glossed over in the prologue which might misinform some readers.

The Yale experiment on fascism is presented to imply that by human nature we are naturally quick to harm one another, in some twister Hobbesian assumption - rather than a product of the limited sample size in a small study under specific economic, political, and societal conditions of the USA.

Otherwise, there are many great ways to defend against and confront Tyranny that are applicable primary to the USA, and secondarily to other western democracies.

A very good read that I recommend to anyone.

An uplifting read, reminiscent of the alchemist. Filled to the brim with solarpunk optimism. You'll enjoy reading this one.

I enjoyed this book much more than the first book. In my opinion, it was better written and more engaging: a real page-turner. The characters were a ton of fun and Margaret is unapologetically authentic as an author which makes for some hilarious moments and thought-provoking perspectives in a novel.

I enjoyed the plot and atmosphere, I just found all the characters a little confusing to follow at times with no major and obvious distinctions between them.

Robert's absurdist sense of humour paired with the thrilling plot made this one a page turner. Yet at each turn, there were elements that made you ponder heavy hitting questions.
