I liked it and I think its message is very important in the world we live in. Making us lose faith in humanity is how the ones in power are able to keep us down, so we have to always remember that it is not in our nature to be cruel and that community care is vital.
The author had some more radical ideas, some less so. It is interesting how we can imagine a better future within the system, sure, but honestly, to me it's much more interesting how we can imagine a better one beyond it (given that powerful people are always going to block genuine reform to keep their power and also that as long as the system stands, no one is going to be truly free).
