NO
by Boyd Rice
Hmm... Read it already while ago. Was considering reviewing it in SI magazine, but then just didn't. Boyd is one of those guys who as youngster appeared to be more intelligent and well spoken than majority, but the more years pass, it is either the exposure to really exceptional thinkers or exposure to actually high class authors, that the books appear now to be basically this type of "zine journalism" level one mans hobby. Nothing wrong with it. That's what I do, with no shame, haha.. But at the same time, when pretty much every topic what perhaps could have been somehow "unusual" view, now appears to be like journal of american individualist populism.
Naturally Boyd has certain vision, but its american vision for prevailing american society. He writes good and easy flowing text, but it really operates on level of... lets say LaVey "satan speaks". It ain't that bad, but still, you get this "uh? so? what else?". In a way, it all makes sense, perhaps like these other american heroes a'la Ayn Rand. Where theoretically it appears to make sense and sinks to fertile ground of individualists... but in the end is so trapped in construction what at the same time opposes, but also makes this ideology possible.
So if you got limited budget what to buy and you got to choose from Boyd or Hitler - go for the real deal.
