This book was amazing. Start to finish I was dialed in hanging on every word. A lot of comments that regard this book negatively are political ones. Stephen mentions Trump maybe twice, and while yes, it’s a negative view, it has NOTHING to do with the storyline it’s merely small comments in “unimportant” conversations. Nobody blames Trump or Obama, or any President that have been in office even remotely recently for the existence of the Institute as the book explains the Institute has existed for decades, maybe longer than that. Peoples refusal to have the author construct a couple characters who have differing political views than them, is mind baffling. The book is great, it’s barely political, and certainly shouldn’t be judged by that.
