    Excellent take on the oligarchs who kill the workers on a daily basis, not much has changed as we strive for truth and justice in the year 2021!
  • Some of these points are still valid today!

    I had no idea Jack London was a socialist and this book ends at such a hopeless point. He must have been very troubled by the capitalists in 1908 and hopeless about the future.
  • Dystopic vision of America hundreds of years from now

    This is a resonating book, written 40 years before "1984". It is made to be the unfinished manuscript of someone's diary during a revolution and tryranny from an increasingly corrupt and industrializing California. Interesting to note this is the vision from 1908, at the time of the "progressive era" of politics and direct democracy initiatives.
