Still working on it, but it is an eye opening book. It is intentionally provocative, and makes arguments that are worth engaging with whether you end up agreeing with them or not. The book itself is not afraid to be disliked; it certainly has upset many of the people in this forum. If you don't like a book don't read it or explain where you find fault. Please don't call for book bans or claim that ideas you don't like shouldn't be discussed. That approach never ends well Interesting that the book features a young man learning from an older man; in so much of our media old people are seen as out of touch and need to be taught by the young. I wonder if that is due to it being a Japanese book, from a culture that honors tradition and wisdom, rather than a product of the American cult of the shiny and new. I've been listening to it as an audiobook, since it is a Socratic dialogue it works well in that format.
