I just thought it was a funny book.
It can be two things. But part of why the humor lands is that we all kind of get the idea of a foreign power showing up somewhere and destroying an entire culture for a golf course or highway or whatever. It's a joke that has eternal value thanks to its real critique of something horrible.
Huh, I always thought it was a commentary on general bureaucracy, that systems are too complex that it doesn't allow for a person to have a voice for their own protection, but South African Apartheid probably makes more sense.
That is the horrifying truth of evil. It's boring, bureaucratic, and inefficient.
