- BizarroLand 5y agoJust keep in mind that the story is weapons-grade satire for a world that doesn't really exist any more, and even though it is still extremely relevant and eye-opening it was written for a different time. Without that reading Candide is akin to reading a serial killers' torturous fan fiction.
