It is bizarre. Putting the politics aside, it has a lot of jokes and a bulk of them are alright even. But more than anything it suffers from being very self-indulgent in a way that just doesn't work. Sim's a well-read guy and part of the fun of his work is following along with his deep pulls from literature, film, etc, but this reads halfway like another sermon that you probably can only get maximum enjoyment from if you are on his side. He probably feels he can lean into it as well since the print run is so small (my copy indicates a print run of only 815)
