This could have been a much better book. In it the general delusions of both the left and the right are laid bare, but left unexamined. For examp!e, the highly educated, professional with a job in the tech sector blames illegal immigrants for him losing two of his jobs. There is no push back given. Same when a character makes a series of comments that are highly controversial about terifs and argued about between academics. Indeed, there is a deep antintelectual bent to the narrative, with academics being the principal villans. Same with people in Public housing or on "welfare." In the former case spell are put in substandard housing. This is seen as a moral good. That many people in such housing are sick, wounded, or otherwise helpless is ignored. To the protagonists, however, they are parasites. Indeed, there is a form of jubilant and self righteous satisfaction as a type of mob violence rounds up “trouble makers,” college professors mostly, are expelled.
In all this could be a much better narrative, but the author is committed to his ideological causes.
