I admit I wondered multiple times whether this book could provide an adequate reasoning for it's horrid premise, but it did eventually deliver. It allows the reader to observe an alien culture together with it's protagonists, and then slides in the key bit of context to turn it into a faith-distilling tragedy.

The author couldn't decide whether to make a textbook or a book-length rant against political opponents, so he did both at the same time. Bonus shoutout to the endorsement of neomonarchism in the middle of talking about the importance of the non-aggression principle.
