      Hah, and it was basically all for nothing. If he wrote the book past covid, he would know that he doesn’t has to dumb down anything

      One thing they got 100% right is the idiots. I remember being really annoyed about the chapter with people pretending to be zombies, intentionally getting bitten and spreading etc…

      …and then COVID happened and proved that the real world had people at least as bad if not more.

      The Japanese blind anime monk was the peak for me. The book had some good parts but man, what the hell was some of that shit

        The author’s understanding of people in countries that isn’t the US seems to be based on tourism-brochure level tropes and not much else. And his depictions of South Africa and Israel betrays a lot of fascistic sympathies.
