Fate has been much on my mind lately, as the schemes of our ruling class are carried through with cruel ineptness.

I listened to the audiobook version last fall. It is very good, my favourite book from last year. If you're interested in possibilities about why big picture events are unfolding in the USA as they are, and how various peoples are going to respond, this book has it.

I read many books last year, and this book, along with Mr. LaFond's When You're Food and Taboo You are the only books I recommended to my son.
