Such a great book. Also cool, the audiobook is read by Cary Elwes (Westley in The Princess Bride).
Speaking of The Princess Bride, have you seen this video? Incredibly good.
"Why I Call Myself a Socialist" by Wallace Shawn
Goes hand in hand with this one;
"We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings." - Ursula K Le Guin

Nothing but contempt and greed is preventing this world from being a full blown utopia like those silly gooses in the early ‘70s-‘90s hoped we would become.
Some of the technology we have now would’ve blown those peoples minds, and they’d probably sit here and ask us why the fuck we’re using this technology so stupidly.
A man can dream.
They dreamed of a utopia and we've turned it into a dystopia.
