This book is hilarious. There's a few points where he's accurate on, but without reading anything else about him, I can tell he's an anti-racist, pro-republican democracy (in the non-partisan sense), Protestant American, and he thinks those trends will sweep the world in the next 50 years, with Catholicism practically disappearing and Mexico joining the US and England exiling the King. Despite the ostentatiously diary format, it's pretty much info dump, saved mostly by being only 10,000 words long.
