I agree it’s not as great as it’s made out to be. But, as a beach read? Sure, it was sufficiently entertaining. 

What are your favorites for near-future fiction? 

 I’m not sure I have any(If you don’t count Atlas Shrugged as one) 

 Nah. That book is good for adolescent minds who don’t know better, not mature adults who should. 

 Well, then I guess that I’ll forever be an adolescent🫡 (wise man there)
