Society he presents as a Kafkaesque, corrupt, and abstract unknown, which represses with perfect, restrained expediency and provides nothing concrete for the opposition to attack. The issues are vague and predictable for a post-industrial giant-war, imperialism, racism-but the specific atrocities are inconsequential, since it is the entire system that must be destroyed and replaced...
