★★★☆☆
Naive capitalist propaganda worker (aka advertising agency jerk) gets to confront his belief in the system – nice enough premise, and with the book being 70 years old when I read it, I really can't complain about it. It's held up well – the pacing a bit old, and the themes too, but not that much. Had hoped for a bit more internal revolution in the protagonist's mind, but the exploration worked well enough even so! This book is part of the 2022 Backlog Incident.
