Takeshi Kovacs

I'm reading the third Takeshi Kovacs novel by Richard Morgan:



Good stuff, and I came across a quote from Morgan which resonates, unsurprisingly:

Society is, always has been and always will be a structure for the exploitation and oppression of the majority through systems of political force dictated by an élite, enforced by thugs, uniformed or not, and upheld by a willful ignorance and stupidity on the part of the very majority whom the system oppresses.


Yep. Can't say I disagree.
