Definitely worth the read
4 estrellas
Beautifully written book, if a little antiquated. In part, it's actually quite timely though, since it deals with humans being replaced with machines, and we're currently dealing with being replaced with AI. Beside the main story about entire working class's redundancy, a side narrative also gives commentary on society in general. The world has turned out to be quite a different place in the meanwhile, so the commentary doesn't quite hit the nail on the head anymore. Story is a little too much on the sexist and racist side, even for 70s for my taste. I'm onboard with the author's sympathy with the working class though.
