What is the crowd's opinion of The Abolition of Man?

From 3.5 billion comments

>I'm not sure what happened with society but this is really really fucked up, I'd probably be fucking escorts till I get old but I wouldn't really get into a relationship, the shit is not worth it

-- It's probably "beyond" the ability of most (*) here to comprehend, but I would suggest the C.S. Lewis book/essay collection:

"The Abolition of Man" (**)

As one means of gaining a philosophical understanding and an answer to your query of "What [the fuck!] Happened??" to our society/civilization.

* Seriously, no offense intended... as cliche as it is to state, in many ways the "It's NOT your fault" line/sentiment (i.e. the trope from the Good Will Hunting film) is actually applicable for most/many of you -- you were unwittingly indoctrinated into a mindset (and have for the entirely or your lives "swum in" polluted waters) that makes it virtually impossible for you to comprehend. (And ironic as it may seem, THAT is one of the things that Lewis' book explains, or at least attempts to explain & predicted would happen.)

-- ** Note: While I link to the Amazon Kindle version (which I think is better to read/digest such a "crunchy/chewy" tome) -- there are in fact online copies of the text available in various formats -- plain text, PDF, etc -- just search on the title & author. (BTW in many countries, Lewis' works are now legitimately in the "public domain" as he passed away 50+ years ago.)

That's another one of those odd product listings I've seen lately where not only is the digital version more expensive than the print version, but the print version plus the digital version is cheaper (via Amazon's MatchBook) than the digital version alone.

Also one of my favorites!

Let me sum this up: 1984 was a book that was saying how bad socialist dictatorships are. I suggest two other books as well: Abolition of Man, The Possessed
