   Over two million words have been completed! Hooray! Everyone is intelligent, the writing style is humorous, and it's a clean and straightforward book, free of scatological humor. Set in 1953, it features a rigorous and logically sound portrayal of a powerful industrial nation.

It avoids simplistic black-and-white characterizations, presenting a protagonist with a grand vision and a deep concern for his country.
