"... 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)[reply]


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

Novel?

[edit]

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.

i aggre that the book isnt a novel as it clearly states that all imformation in it is true and is fact it even says on the articale that if you can prove it wrong you will get 100000 dollars. so i think it is wrong to call it fiction. sorry for my spelling mistakes. conor godsil ireland
