Didn't age well and probably was written way too soon.

4 stars

Topics of autocracy are simplified almost to a joke. Re-reading the book in 2022, it doesn't feel like it age well. But then again, it was written just 40 odd years after the end of World War II, so I'm not sure why did Harrison even bother writing a comedy about autocracies. It's still 4 stars because he explains how they work well enough, also good for children.
