Butler was no Swift, but...
Just finished Samuel Butler's "Erewhon", a philosophical satire of Victorian England's society, laws, and religion. He is no Swift, but makes some interesting points in this 186-page book. He is unsettlingly prophetic about machine evolution, bitingly funny on birth and the treatment of children, on the mark on the confusing roles of religion and banking, and unrepentant in ridiculing vegetarianism. Interesting, mostly on target, enjoyable, and still timely after 138 years.
