"... this book is still as relevant and important as it was when it was first published 20 years ago."

Is that a true/neutral statement? FriedBunny 15:07, 14 May 2006 (UTC)


The planet is now in worse condition than 20 years ago, so I guess the book is now more relevant and important than it was back then. -Tassu

"Truth" in this case is, IMO, relative. Neutrality, however... I agree with the statement in question. However, I find it - especially its lack of direct (or even tacit) acknowledgement of extant, opposing (and/or uninterested) viewpoints - to be a bit too subjective in scope and conclusion to be appropriate for this situation. And perhaps the work's sociopolitical relevance could be further elucidated? -CY

[edit] Novel?

This book is currently classified as a novel in Wikipedia, but I can't understand why. I have read it and it certainly seems like a non-fiction book to me (I am a writer/journalist myself so I would think I can judge this). Amazon.com has also categorized it as non-fiction.
