McLovin, I do believe that I constrained the application to being viable. It's the viability which is the weak link. Our population is made up of about 85% sheeple. In order for her philosophy to be viable, the population must be reasonably small and not of sheeple stock. Some examples of where this would be possible: mass calamity which culls the sheeple, or colonizing such as the moon or mars. Alas none of these are likely to happen anytime soon.
If you have other thoughts I would certainly welcome them.
Also note, the book wasn't necessarily making predictions. It was/is a reflection of history and current events. It just so happens that the same traps and same mistakes are fallen for. That is why if you look at a chart of book sales versus time you will see sale of this book spike when the current events are shall we say closely aligned.
