    It is very painful and difficult to read.

    Every single person the book talks about is a person like every user here on Hexbear, with the same beliefs and ideals of a world future united and free of capitalist exploitation. It is very painful and very difficult to get through if you humanise the numbers, each with a family that was destroyed.

      Yeah, I can imagine. I saw Act of Killing which was similarly brutal to watch for similar reasons.
