I highly recommend this book. I think it offers some crucial information regarding the current state of the Jewish left and antisemitism as part of the greater leftwing anticolonial antifascist, anti-racist, and anti-white-supremacist struggle, and how we can all work together the form a greater and more solidaritous left that respects our diversity while also respecting one another.

This is the book that inspired Micheal Moorcock to write SF which made me curious. In his own words: "It was Alfred Bester who first attracted me to science fiction.
