Summarize it.

Totally irrelevant fantasy world to what we are in today.

There's one scene where the protagonist goes into a big speech about what money means, like the dollar represents work and the product of one's labor.

If a capitalist when into that kind of rave over the dollar today, he'd be laughed off the panel of talking heads.

:dollartp:

The whole free market capitalism thing is dead, corrupted by insiders and a negligent government.

The book is worth reading as it is a work of existential philosophy that Ayn Rand has described.
