Indeed. Hard to believe it was published 53 years ago... but it could have been yesterday. Author Arthur was 36 at the time - in his prime; and will likely be seen as the preeminent prophet of the 20th Century. I hadn't consiously thought about that book in years, but recent post was unmistakably influenced by it.
There is an interesting disclaimer on the credit page: "The opinions expressed in this book are not those of the author" ... meaning cryptically, one might suppose, that no opinion is really our "own."
Go figure...
Well, I think Jed has contact with Sr.ACC. I have asked what was the inspiration for the book; but, have not received a definitive answer. As I recall, author Arthur said something like "Check the ### release of the book.".
If only (w)he (-k)knew.
