Summary

The book may have been written before Trump's re-election, but that's not a bad thing. Because it's about far more than just an old man in power. It's about all of us and how societies can drift apart. Burger, Microsoft and the Internet were once launched in the USA with the aim of conquering Germany. In this respect, we can only hope that we will be spared this socio-political phenomenon and learn that we don't have to adapt everything that comes from the USA. This book offers plenty of opportunities to do so.
