We think with this novel that to exist governments that don’t care the people only the dictator need the polítical power and money. The book are very useful for yo have knowledge and everyone know their history. Without books were are ignorant. Let a long, we should read and read a book don’t care a genre, we should have much knowledge. The slogan is when much knowledge we have, much power we will have. Nice for this interesting reading. I like to much and I read the next book. Bye se you 🖐️👍

Thank you Sunny for sharing this article. I read this book a few months ago , just when the pandemic began. The novel, which is about a dystopian world, makes me think that this reality is closer than we think. In fact I think out society is developing some points exposed in the book. I love this kind of novels (1984, brave new world, animal farm, etc ).
