It's got me looking for real life organizations, that's for sure. I want to get involved early. I was actually thinking similarly to you, I really want to go over this book with a fine tooth comb and discuss the themes with others. Glad you enjoyed the book, I'm surprised you finished it in one sitting!

It was a little shocking to see how prescient the author was, all those decades ago. We need a new version that accounts for smart phones, the power of ubiquitous surveillance, and predictive AI. But yes, his perception of society is unpleasantly accurate. Just came from a QRV thread where "doing it legally" is their ultimate goal. :(

Several times throughout the book I've had to make sure I was reading the original publishing date correctly, it's extremely eerie how accurate the author is. Even with smartphones and computers today, I think the book is still exceedingly relevant. In a modern day revolution, I still see us broadcasting coded speech through radio. I see the internet becoming obsolete for communication, as it is easily compromised. Most Q followers are true cucks, it's sad to watch them twist and contort every small thing to fit their confirmation bias'.

I got rained off the job today so I'm now sitting down at home and finishing the last 50 or so pages I have left. I'd love to talk more about the book once I'm finished, if you're interested.
