"the way people take political lessons from it is scary. I used to believe that politics of book should not matter because people are clear in difference between reality and fiction, but this book convinced me otherwise."
The genre is one of speculating about the future of the human condition. Playing with political theory is an interesting part of it and provokes interesting conversations in threads like this one. That's the best part of good science fiction or political writing.
It isn't just about future technology.
- watwut 8y agoIt is still fiction with little grounding in history, political science or psychology. It is not science and not based on data. It is also single guy story where groups of citizens who are in opposition to system don't get to play the role. You can't take lessons from it, because author is speculating so it projects right politics and is fun rather then accurate. Just like one will not build ship based on sci-fi tech.
