Review of 'Ministry for the Future' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This is the story of how to intentionally expand the fissures in capitalism's skin so it bleeds out and eventually dies. It's not utopian. It's about as violent as I imagine it will need to be. Its concerns are a whole planet affair and not centered on the west. It definitely doesn't skimp on the economics. The solutions are thrilling to entertain and on the whole it's a pretty hopeful story. It doesn't lean in only one direction either-containing everything from collective living, science, banking, industry, activism, violence, murder, and blimps (errr, sorry, I mean airships).
