It’s not particularly good literature, but does explore some cool stuff. Almost feel like the author liked Atlas Shrugged but didn’t like all of Rand’s conclusions. And the book explored a lot of tech ideas before they played out. Worth a read.

You’re welcome. And hah, yea, also my take on Atlas Shrugged. Loved the book. She dismantles socialism to point that it’s embarrassing there are still socialists out there. When she tries to fight for egoism over God (religion) she starts to conflate a lot of things to make the argument come together. But like I said, I loved the book.

I think short answer is yes, it just sucks because of Satan. Long answer is it sucks because of Satan and man’s sin nature. One could deliberate that if Satan hadn’t been in the garden to tempt Adam and Eve, perhaps they wouldn’t have sinned and thus a sin nature would not have been passed down. But he was there and they did sin, so now we are innately sinful. Combine Satan’s influence and our own sin nature and you end up with a lot of pain in the world. But “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”
