Do not let its literary reputation and popularity among young contemporary anarchists fool you into thinking this is anything but a raging rant that nowadays might have been published by a college student on their blog who has just read Ayn Rand and Nietzsche for the first time. 

I jest, because this writing is exceedingly eloquent and occasionally humorous in its passion. But it's far-fetched from a systematic or even coherent guide to an anti-state life. One can appreciate it as a piece of polemic poetry, but the intellectual ideas are put so far to the forefront, that one cannot avoid engaging with them critically. And after such engagement, I cannot help but identify a pervasive degree of naivety, shortsightedness, and immaturity. As such, it is much more of a useful relic for the libertarian tradition than it is for the anarchist. At the very least, it is a diverting piece of history to consume.
