One of the most awe inspiring and fear inducing novels I've ever read. It has changed the way I view extra-terrestrial science fiction on principle.
Currently really enjoying this book. It's interesting because so far it's not as much a critique of Capitalism as it is an absolute thrashing of corporations and free trade. My only nit pick would be that it seems to be somewhat Christian themed - there are frequent (one or two every section) references to Moses, Jesus, the Ten Commandments, etc. It's unclear if that's the author's bias, a callout of hypocrisy, or an appeal to the audience. Some may find that more abbrasive than others, but it's still pretty good
