No argument here. While I didn’t much appreciate the book as a novel, it has some value from a philosophical perspective. You’d probably be right in the target audience.

Oddly enough, to me, this seems like more of a feature than a bug…but I tend to go through a half-dozen philosophy books for every novel I read, so I might just check it out.
