About this audiobook
A novel with incredible prescience from late 1800's about the perpetual corruption of the elites and out of control oppression of the working class, set in late 80's of our time. Only if the steam could have been released before the revolution! And oh, the dangers of massive revolution. He seemed to predict computer screens and AI news, advanced weaponry, globalization, Capitalism, the collapse of Democracy, the insane corruption at al levels, and the split in society between the halves and the have nots.
Some great monologues in the struggle for power and to wrangle the will of the people. It's uncanny how important this message is now in the 2020's, and I won't spoil the ending about what the true possibilities are for humanity. We are also treated to a couple traditional romantic love stories along the way.
